It's like there are ninety steps involved in this; I ranted ineloquently and with injokes under the assumption that I wasn't talking to anyone new, you decided to share with people you assumed were sane, gobsmacked thought it would make an interesting debate topic, the posters at f_d responded to the angry tone and wording rather than the issue I was hamfistedly moaning about and got annoyed with an injoke they knew nothing about, then some fucker thought it would be a good idea to link to me in mf when I was dissing mf, which really *does* smack of wank, and then I locked my entry to get rid of the mf posters, posted an angry entry, made f_d think I was talking about them, and it went round and round in circles.

... it's amazing how fast these things can build, isn't it? I mean, I barely gave any thought to the rant itself, I was just having a RAH WILL PEOPLE STOP PLACING THEIR PERSONAL POLITICS ABOVE TELLING A GOOD STORY and it went demented. I keep forgetting that just because story is more important than anything else to me, doesn't mean that other people's value systems are so dismissive of the real world. *sigh*
