I hope all of this insanity calms down soon. If I don't subscribe to a particular ship or fandom I just don't bother with it other than occasional readings for friends, and even then it has to do with the quality of the writing.
It's such a waste of time to rag on others-- It's like all the freakin' religious nuts of the world rounding on each other over stupid crap like whether or not their deity was right handed or left handed. The Right handers think they're better than the Lefties and the Lefties think they're better than the Righties. (Yes, that makes little sense and I could have come up with something much more effective, but I'm really running down here. I've just started getting a taste of what's going on out there.)
I hope it calms down, too, or it'll only be the crazies left, and then what happens to the new fans? Poor people will rush into the fandom and think everyone else who likes their new favorite show are nutters!
And to steal a line from "You've Got Mail", of all things, "It's like those people who brag because they're tall." It's all inconsequential, just like you said.
That hadn't occurred to me. That basically happened to me with ER; I started watching after it had been on a while and when I started looking around in forums I saw all this in-fighting that I did not want to be part of. I just drifted away from the fandom and the show.
p.s. I love, love, love your icon. That was a beautiful scene between them.
Me too! I started watching it on TNT in reruns and then watched the current timeline when I was caught up. Made the mistake of going to read fanfic and then a few message boards when I found the mess that is that fandom. That just shouldn't happen to a classic like DW after all these years.
(I love that scene too. Just wish he woulda kissed her, the old sod.)
