I do admire that you stuck up for your friend. That is a very good quality. Although I'll admit in the calmness and ability to think that I've achieved the day after that I was overemotional and overreacted, that is the same thing I felt like I was doing. My friends worked for days to tally those nominations, and you didn't even care! you were totally disrespectfull to the people who put so much work into this. Don't you think that upset them that you didn't even care? I don't want anyone to disrespect my friends either ( ... )

The thing is... my comment at the time wasn't complaining. LW asked for suggestions for next time. I was being respectful, I wasn't complaining or asking for her to do things over. I just said/suggested a few things for next time.

So to open my email and see me be to be personally attacked, and not just that my character... It's something that really got to me, I didn't attack anyone, I didn't deserve to be attacked.

meh. i tried not to comment to people directly for that exact reason. and i probably should keep my mouth shut seeing as im COMPLETELY new and all.

but i feel like that is a place where i am comfortable so i can voice my opinion, just as other people do.

but honestly, these things shouldnt even be that serious.

i hate to think that anything would come across that way :(

sylargrrrl October 3 2008, 07:51:55 UTC

They shouldn't, no. But the very fact that something so stupid escalated and made her upset...just tells me I need to take a break from it if anything.

brandinsbabe October 3 2008, 07:54:13 UTC

yeah, i see what you mean.

i'm sorry :(

brandinsbabe October 3 2008, 08:10:40 UTC

wow...i was really feeling bad cause i felt like my comment was a little meh. but i just went back to read the other comments...and woah, out of hand indeed.

it's true.

i just feel like people shouldnt be rude when voicing their opinions.

everyone has a right to what they want to say. i dunno why it has to get out of hand.

i honestly cant believe what a fiasco it turned into.

sylargrrrl October 3 2008, 08:13:08 UTC

I'm just waiting for my flist to get affected by not backing down in that comment mess in there. People should be able to voice their opinions without fear of reprisal. It's bullshit.

I hate it when fandom stops being a funny place. Unfortunately, it happens all the time :( I really don't know why people do it, spoil it for everyone. You can have different opinions but there are civil ways of speaking your mind instead than just bashing people, with or without reason. I'm just speaking in general since I'm not at mylar_fic, LOL. I remember other communities where people would get hate comments just because they were new to LJ and didn't know how to do a cut or in general how to use a community. I just... sucks.
