... I go camping for the August long weekend, and fandom is packing its bags to leave LJ?

The hell, people?


No, seriously, I'm never going to catch up on my flist -- what is this fresh drama, precisely?

Fandom wanks the wankiest wanks that ever did wank. (How many wanks could a fandom wank if a fandom could wank wanks?)

I'd really like to be neutral or objective about this, but honestly, all the drama makes me snicker. I will say that LJ went overkill, but that anyone who is actually surprised about it needs to make a serious reality check.

So...

Overreacting LJ? Check.
Overreacting fandom? Check.
Eleventy hojillion voices crying out in agony and suddenly silenced? Not so much.

Forget the cake and puppies, come join me on the sidelines and help throw popcorn at the people that actually take this stuff seriously. Random Monty Python quotes will make everything better.

"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"

Can we have popcorn, and then cake?

"Come back here! I'll bite your ankles off!"
