On Anonymous Hate Memes
The newest irritation? How some people in a fit of etymological spasticity have bastardized the suffix of "anonymous," calling anyone who posts that way a "mouse." Um, hello. If you're posting anonymous vitriol, you're not a mouse--you're a pussy. The attempt to cutify the emotionally-retarded is like PC-ness on monkey-crack: you're not a desperately jealous, pathetic loser if you post anonymous hate, but a cute little mouse. All part and parcel of not wanting to own your words and actions, and how five-years-old is that?

And then ratting out the communities? Can't you grok that it's the same thing, cheap anonymity in the same stinky rayon dress? Besides, fannish hate is a thinly-disguised compliment, with hate just jealousy of perceived greater power.

Snore.

That said, Tom Welling is very pretty, so pretty that I've decided to forge ahead with an old story: it's so much more pleasant to be steeped in man-angst and cock.
