I'm usually detached from Internet stupidity because I like to point and laugh - but since this is happening in a community I moderate (attackallaround) and was a major part of some drama a few months back, I was stuck getting involved. Actually, it stresses me out even more that I have taken notice of it, because then it nags at me.
It's not just the two original posters of the posts I've linked, but also the person that was supposedly harassing them. Because I've made it a point to stay neutral in the drama, I'm mad/annoyed at all three of them. And the more I've read about the drama, the more stupid both sides have seemed, adding to the annoyance. Which is even more stressful, but I guess mostly I'm pained at the apparent degeneration of the fandom and how this thing has ended up affecting me. (It gets even better! I have had intentions put to actions that I did not initiate! ...to remain cryptic.)
Perhaps in another month or so I'll be able to let it go. I'm hoping sooner, actually, but I'm the kind of person who holds a grudge and lets it fester stressfully even if I don't do anything about it. D:
Ah, since you're a mod for the comm, I can see where the frustration comes from (and how it could linger) more clearly. I like to remain so insignificant in the grand scheme of things that hopefully I'll be bothered by less ... not nearly as successful as I'd like, though x:
I too hold grudges as exemplified by an exchange with a classmate earlier today that I do not feel like recounting x:
