God, do people really see the need to join a group just to hate something?
Not going to give a link to the com in question, since they don't need the advertisment, but really, if you hate something, is there really a need to waste all that much time on it?

high 5!

Just saw the 'new' community .. for Christ's Sake ... made me go rollereyes

*huggles*

just weird, sure hatred's irrational, but still...

I know what you're talking about and what makes me shake my head most is the number of people prepared to feed the troll.

yeah, at least when this same troll tried it in VM fandom, almost all of the responses were from people asking to be de-friended cause they didn't want to have anything to do with it...

Here lots of people actually seem to agree with the idea... just baffling.

People still seem to have plenty of spleen to vent re: Spike, season 6 etc.

I dunno whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I'd see it as a good thing, it's better to be mentioned, than it is to be ignored. These people woudln't still be as upset, if they hadn't realized how great Spike is, and there's nothing they can do about it*eg*

True. I hate the wank and am astonished by how many people seem to want to encourage that troll. However, if people can't be bothered to wank you know the fandom is on its last legs.

I have to look at it as funny. I mean rather than thinking how aggravating it is that they hate Spike, my first reaction is how pathetic is it to still be angry enough to open a hate forum after all these years. Good grief, did he eat their babies?

I finally have a germ of an idea for your birthday ficathon thing, btw.

Can you just tell me whether or not you like Giles.

Well let's see, he did try to kill Spike*eg*
But I wouldn't have created a Giles/Spike community if I hated him ;-)

In answer, I don't see him as just the nice sweet daddy figure that a lot of people seem to make him (even though I do see him as Buffy's father, and believe he loved her as a daughter and did the best he could for her), but I like him plenty as a character*g*

That's okay, then. I'd forgotten it was you started that community actually. I'm a member as well.

That's a world of wrong. I glanced at a few of the new comm's comments and was instantly turned off by the vicious anti-Spuffy ranting about how "lame" it was that Spike won his soul. I'd respond to that in an equally vituperative tone, but I don't want to validate that kind of asinine sentiment by arguing with them.

Suffice it to say, I'm not joining.

I have to say that I stopped myself from responding for the same reason. Best to just let them wank on, easiest way to let a wank die is to just ignore it.

After all, it's infinitely more aggravating to be ignored. :)

I vote no on bitterness, myself.

bitterness can be fun for a second*g*

It's a pointless waste of time that will implode on itself.

True, I'm guessing the worse we can do is to go in and start trying to defend hte chars we like, because it'll only give the troll more fodder.

It wouldn't change anyone's mind either way, so why even bother? Ignore it, it'll last a couple of days at best.

It's sad and lame and pathetic. I intend to ignore its existence. Thge moderator has earned my stupid people icon.

Too true, I just don't get that people are actually going along with it. Ah well, it'll die out, these things usually do.

Dude, fandom hate and shipper wars?

i don't see the need to even bother.

Feh.

(and I agree, what a total waste of energy to generate hate)

best way to react to it. Which is why I didn't bother giving a link, because they want us to send people their way.

Saw the spammage last night. Hey, it's great our fandom is still vibrant enough we have trolls trying to pick fights. *g*

true*g*
Always a silver lining and all that*g*

It's seriously stupid. It isn't even a comm - just a journal with a single entry and a shitload of comments...

And that load is what a lot of them have for brains. Though I confess I commented supporting one person who wrote that the Buffyverse is great.

I can't see it going anywhere...

lol, can't blame you*g*

I was going to ask what this was about as I hadn't seen anything about it. Although now that I think about it, was this something that was announced on Su_Herald? I read the summary of something yesterday, rolled my eyes, and decided to skip before even clicking the link. Am I to conclude that I was right in doing so?

It's the same person that was doing it in VM fandom a week or two ago. (shrug) Looks like someone who's just going from fandom to fandom, trying to stir people up.
