a small response to the recent revelations...

Am I the only person in fandom (or on the internet for that matter) who doesn't have a sock? I feel sad and pathetic, but I barely have enough time to man this journal, let alone several others. :~\

I am here to play with people who share my love of the various fandoms, whether that be Harry Potter, Star Wars, Buffy, Lord of the Rings, whatever. I do not understand, nor do I think I will ever understand, the vitriol and animosity that goes on between the various factions in whatever fandom.

We're all here because we love the source material, yes? Surely the sandbox is big enough for everyone of every ship/sexual/canon or non-canon preference?

I have one... but that's more like an uber-private journal with a extremely minimized friendslist that I created for the times when I deleted my regular journal... does that count as sock? And now I'm not going to use it ever again, because of the ugly ads that are popping up all over the place. Ugh.

I don't really get the animosity either... though I do admit that I read that "biography" out of interest. It shocked me more than anything.

I started reading the first part, then decided I didn't want to get involved. It was mostly before my time and about people I didn't know.

Then, because so many of my flist were talking about it, I decided to give it another go, and once I started reading it properly... yeah, like watching a train wreck - you can't look away. :~\ And I do remember the kerfuffle about the laptops etc.

I can totally understand people have a separate journal for family or private stuff, I just don't think I could manage a second journal myself. I wouldn't go into it often enough, and I'd forget the password or something! Hahahaha! ;~D
