I'm going to be blatantly annoyed here.

Feb 01, 2010 20:50

Because it continues to irk me and I absolutely need to rant about it:

WHY WOULD YOU ASK FOR CREDIT FOR FINDING SOMETHING?

( Because in retrospect, I realize there are people who don't care. )

kimi is not happy, i will never understand strangers, public, fandom is why we can't have nice things

Sometimes I think that there must be something wrong with me, because I continue to read the comments on NYT articles and in response to arama entries ... even though I know (and believe) that 99% of the folks on the Internet are actually idiots. Sometimes I think there must be something wrong with me, because I continue to read and get upset over these idiots.

Slowly I'm weaning myself off these (actually, quite stressing) habits. I don't know; sometimes you just have to be some kind of holier-than-thou by letting the idiots do whatever it is that idiots do, and not let them lower your quality of life :)

I'm usually detached from Internet stupidity because I like to point and laugh - but since this is happening in a community I moderate (attackallaround) and was a major part of some drama a few months back, I was stuck getting involved. Actually, it stresses me out even more that I have taken notice of it, because then it nags at me ( ... )

Ah, since you're a mod for the comm, I can see where the frustration comes from (and how it could linger) more clearly. I like to remain so insignificant in the grand scheme of things that hopefully I'll be bothered by less ... not nearly as successful as I'd like, though x:

I too hold grudges as exemplified by an exchange with a classmate earlier today that I do not feel like recounting x:

I would think if anyone is blatantly taking a side, it would be you (and your wife). attackallaround is and has always been neutral, which is why it has allowed EVERYONE regardless of their allegiance in this drama to post. You were a member since 2007 yourself, so you can see yourself how necessary it was for me to step in UNTIL this happened. But as you've blatantly chosen a side here already, perhaps there is no point in trying to argue that with you.

This post is public and applies to ALL fandoms with the potential of doing so - the AAA fandom is currently just the best example of it. The crediting issue applies to Victoria as well, as mentioned in my comment to iaoiua above, and I have offered the chance for either moderator of nissyshinjilove to supply an example that offends the subject of the post above as much as they themselves feel offended by it so that I can insert it in. I am still eagerly awaiting it ( ... )

This entire comment thread has been screened on request of the original commenter and because it lacks direct relevance to what I'm talking about in this post.

But if any of you would like to publicly comment on the actual topic (that is - crediting for finding) without bringing in other aspects of the drama, I will gladly welcome it.

Thank you for being a calm voice and speaking out as such. Admittedly, it's not entirely relevant to the major issue, but because you've gone to the trouble of presenting your view rationally and it isn't going to suddenly stir up drama, I feel it's only fair that what you have to say isn't screened.

My big problem here, as I have oft mentioned to the owners of nissyshinjilove, is not so much that they ask to be credited for things they have found - even if I disagree with it for the reasons above - but when they are asking for credit for things that can be found in much easier places to find it. This, along with asking for credit on a request and a fansite that you did not work on, is the stuff I feel pushes the boundaries. This rant does not refer specfically to them, but to the action as a whole. I'm sorry that it was taken so personally - at the time of posting, they were the best and most constant examples. As I said in a comment above, I have offered the chance for either moderator to supply an example by Victoria so that they could give me ( ... )

LOL i love you.

why do we not have each other added on here? :O

mandywheeler March 7 2010, 19:40:49 UTC

and yes, it has gotten insane. while we had our dramatic moments at ATTACK'd, they were NOTHING in compared to this crap that's going on now. i know i'm a fan of old AAA. but as for now? i really don't think so.
