About a week or so ago, someone commented on Slash World in a way that I found extremely offensive. It was a bashy comment about an author and how horrible they thought this particular author was. It isn't the first time a bashy comment has made it to the comment section of Slash World and I doubt it will be the last. This person didn't complain to me that I deleted their comment. For all I know, they didn't even notice it was never published on the post they were commenting on to begin with.

However, it did prompt me to post a warning on Slash World about future comments of that nature and how I would deal with them. I have a similar policy on my own site. If you can't say something nice then just shut the fuck up. It's simple really. There are plenty of places all over the Internet where you can bitch and I'm certainly not required to offer you another place to do so.

Someone used my "contact me" form on my personal site to bitch about my commenting policy on Slash World and how they felt it was restrictive and in infringed on their right to "free speech" and then he/she accused me of censorship.

I KNOW this person is a troll. I'm aware of it and after I stopped laughing at them -- I realized that they WANTED me to come over here to LJ and bitch about them. I think that was the whole point behind their little communication with me... they wanted to get me all riled up so I would come over here and bitch about it. Well, far be it from me to disappoint a FAN.

You know what's worse than the rain? The damn humidity! It's MELBOURNE! Not the tropics! I hope your cold gets better soon. Go read your favourite Keira fic, it always helps me!

Thanks - I also hate the humidity. The weather has been pretty screwey so far this year. I am hoping that it cools down properly soon. I plan to reread some Keira fic and also read some of the recs on slash world to make me feel better! Here's hoping Keira power can kick a cold!

What a moron. Obviously someone has been blowing the moron signal tower* one to many times.

Thank you for the giggle!

Funny, that clip made me really laugh (....and then have a coughing fit as I seem to have come down with an autumn chest infection - dammit).
I still can't beleive that people don't seem to take your warnings seriously. Idiot.

Just rewatched this again, and no, I think the best part was about the media forces of darkness. That was just too funny for 11pm and everyone asleep but me.

BTW, it amazes me that the clip is only 2 minutes and some seconds. It feels like it goes on forever.

WHO IS THAT GUY?

After I recovered the power to breathe, I googled the title from the end of the clip and found:

Haven't had my coffee yet. I love UK humor. It's the best fucking thing EVER! I think I'll have some spam for breakfast.

That is what Frobisher should have been like... (only saw episodes of the show after TW and DW - yes, he'd been in that as well) but totally agree with you on : either play nice or don't play

Loved it, even though I have a little trouble with some British accents.
