Wow. Just......Wow

The interwebs is full of Teh Stupids.  And some times it's amusing.  I'm on a comm called fanficrants  and it's often full of people pointing out various fails.

Well this time I couldn't figure out what the OP was meaning, so I asked for clarification.

Apparently, asking for clarification is a BAD thing.

Oooooh, hugs are nice :)

One of the things I love about smaller fandom groups is that people tend to be more welcoming and dicks like that freak get written out fairly quickly. I sorry you've had a rough experience. I hope it doesn’t put you off.

[aiyokusama]

What? Oh. Nono. The comm is a general one. You've got people from all kinds of fandoms there. And no, it hasn't put me off :)

I was just very.....surprised. I mean of all the things to get pissy about.

Wanking like whoa over there, aren't they?

I work in the educational field, and I've never heard of that slang term being used...ever. It's always called by its full medical term, never just with the ending chopping off. My initial reaction is actually to be kind of offended or at least slightly annoyed by someone calling it "Downs".

[aiyokusama]

Wank is exactly what it is ^_^;;

I have heard it used, but it wasn't flattering. And I really didn't want to assume that's how the OP was using it.

I was amused the one poster accused me of living in a bubble. I mean, really.

Oh! and new Jay drabble up :)

I'm sorry, I starting giggling. That was so... crack. I mean, like, when really bad writers put their poor, perfect, utterly wonderful Mary-sue in a ridiculous situation where NO ONE UNDERSTANDS and she is ALONE AGAINST THE WORLD and we all roll our eyes because that never happens.

... Except it's real and, honestly, I didn't know there were people that unreasonable. Seriously, I don't call it Down's. It's always been Down Syndrome.

'Willfully ignorant' was my favorite part. Really. I about died from the absolute irrationality. FROM NOW ON, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT POINTS OF CLARIFICATION ARE FOR THE WILLFULLY IGNORANT. Cause, it's not like the entire point of the question was to educate yourself. *whistles*

Ahh, yes. I'm still giggling. Allow me to give you a hug of giggles.

[aiyokusama]

Heh, yeah. It's just....only on the interwebs, you know? *smiles and shakes head*

So where have YOU been hiding? Haven't seen you in ages!

I was gone a long time dealing with my brother's death, but I've been back about the last two months-ish. I only post journals on this account, though, so if you want any of the ficcage you'll need to add my writing account - LittleMissGriff.

[aiyokusama]

*HUGS* I had no idea about your brother. I'm sorry.

Thanks, I've friended your other account :)
