In which I show that one is never to old to be a starry-eyed optimist from time to time

An open letter to burr86,

Wow, you got pounced on pretty good last night, eh? (ETA: Ah, the post has now been deleted. I'm sure someone out there has screencaps.) (ETA2: Screencap here.) (ETA3: Entire post preserved here.) I contributed, both by commenting myself and linking to it in my journal, which probably sent more people over to jump on the ( Read more... )

livejournal, strikethrough

Are you actually going to bring this to his attention? Because I think you should.

gmth August 5 2007, 16:06:14 UTC

No, I won't troll him. I doubt he would care anyway, to be honest.

trobadora August 5 2007, 16:12:58 UTC

I don't think this would count as trolling, but sadly you're probably right that he wouldn't care.

As the moderator of that community, I have deleted the entire thread as inappropriate for both the spirit and the intent of that community. [ source]

No worries. Screencaps exist, and I've already edited one into this post.

I love that mod smackdown, though. Thanks for the link.

Get a load of http://eleri.livejournal.com/1182675.html !

Ah! Beautiful. Although it sort of looks like my giving burr86 the benefit of the doubt as a nice guy may have been misplaced, if in fact he was not a member of that comm but just went there to be a jackass. Which makes this whole post an exercise in futility, I suppose. *sigh*

Thanks for the info, though. :-)

*nod* More than that, IIRC; I think it was partly through his friendslist that I found efw.

Yeah, that someone - girlclone was being way too coy.

She IS a member of the LJ Abuse Team, so by failing to disclose that, she was being even less transparent and professional than burr86. She's used 2 journals so far that I've seen to bitch at fans in people's journals. (And when called on it, deletes those posts and then posts lies about their content ( ... )

Agreed. In fact, I'm sure a smart mod like eleri knows that where there's one open LJ staffer in a comm, there's probably others who aren't being open. Gah. This is way too much like office politics or nasty neighborhood sneak-attacks. I come to fandom to have FUN - thanks for destroying that too, LJ.

As I'm not on eleri's flist and she has efw sensibly screened and members-only (now, if not before), I won't make the effort to inform her, but no doubt someone else on this thread may do so. As I say, she's gotta be wondering by now how many members are speaking for LJ, not as individuals.

oooooh. I can't wait to see what comes of that.
