That was to be expected

[neadods]

The Daily Mail has denounced Doctor Who and Race as wrong, elitist, and a waste of paper, with a side order of its authors probably being a racist waste of transplantable organs.

I think this means I've made it as an author.

Yup, nothing like being trashed by the Daily Fail to prove you've made it...

So congratulations!

[neadods]

Thank you!

[tempestsarekind]

Ah, the old "how dare you talk about race, you racist!" gambit. Congratulations? I guess?

(Real congrats on the publication, though.)

[neadods]

how dare you talk about race, you racist!

Yup. Plus "Martha was not treated worse than any other companion, you racist!" Quite like old times.

If it wasn't so common to see that kind of defensive crusader stomping around, I'd almost think it was satire.

Behold! People are concerned about parts of a show! We must belittle their questions, observations, and writings, posthaste! Rally the trolls!

[neadods]

The Daily Fail is satire, IMO. I'm avoiding their comments, though, because that really is rallying the trolls.

Congratulations! I'd probably be quite disturbed if I ever wrote anything that was wholeheartedly approved of by the Daily Mail.

[chelseagirl]

Agreed!

[neadods]

Exactly!

[mme_hardy]

Um... congratulations?

[neadods]

I think so. They think it's worth being outraged about, that's something.
