I thought half the fun was going away with an oh so superior attitude and making up your own storyline when things weren't quite going the way you wanted. Besides where's the fun in being fair and balanced? Damn but I can't even use that phrase without tasting the irony. I mean I agree that some fans have massive doses of multisylabicwordification, but really, is sci fi fandom the only bastion of bad behaviour? I think not. Nor are schisms over absolutely nothing a new thing, not for "fandom" of any kind and certianly not for religion. Still, there are two sides of this fence -- the empowered and unempowered. Perhaps the real hurt comes from the stupidity of not knowing what side of the fence you're on.
