I haven't posted much on this issue, because every time I think about it, my brain starts melting.

Y'know, I was kinda pissed about this when I read about it for the first time last week. It's still kinda wrong.

But now, this little fandom gem has eaten my brain and sent me into a depressive fit. Bother (HP) fandom and everything to do with it (Pumpkinism et al)!

Hmmm, I'm getting a "page not found" on that link...

Happens from time to time. Here's a better copy, but requires a Y!Group membership to join. But considering that it's one of the bigger Y!Groups in the HP fandom (hell, with Cassie Claire and Lori Summers owning the list, you know it's got to be big), it shouldn't be that hard to get into these days.

Beware teh angst, especially for the two characters in the fic that need it the least.

Yeah, still not working. What's the group? I'm probably already a member.

I think I've been living in a cave. This is the first I've heard of this.

So you can imagine, I'm fairly pissed. Won't go into detail, but I did a fair amount of ranting at my journal.

I thought maybe there were some people who hadn't heard of this yet. While it got mentioned & discussed in several LJ's last week, there wasn't as big an outcry as I would have expected. I think people just have outrage fatigue at this point.

Actually.. Chan chandler who is preacher at East Waynesville Baptist Church didn't kick out all the democrats. Over half of the people who left were republican.

I'm sorry, did you not read any of those links?

Pastor Chandler told everyone if they hadn't voted for Bush and refused to renounce a vote for John Kerry, then they should get up and leave. He then rounded up a vote to "excommunicate" 9 Democrat members. Only after these events did the 40 other members leave on their own. Now, maybe some of those 40 were Republicas... I suppose it's possible.
