ithiliana: Calling out Michaela Ecks/Laura Hale/Purplepopple/Partly_Bouncy - The purpose of this post is to call out somebody who actively seeks to harm other fans. She lies. She outs fans by connecting their real life identities with their fannish identities. She is trying to make money from a site which is billed as "history" -
- frankincensy: [in buy_n_large] "WALL-E: A Butch/Femme Love Story" - How do you see the characters, in terms of gender, and what influenced you to see them that way? What do you think of the article? I'm not sure how I'd gender WALL-E and EVE myself, but I see their love as the kind that has nothing to do with gender. -
- svmadelyn: My .02 - - The thing that not many people have really brought up during this "FanHistory outs fans!" mess is that...well, it's pretty obvious that Laura Hale/purplepopple/partly_bouncy is, rather than being in it for the lulz, in it for the pagehits. -
- losyark: DW's Companions, and why they don't matter in the end. - Spoilers for all of all of Doctor Who, and Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures, and all of Harry Potter. -
- carlanime: OIC: THIS is why we can't all just get along. - What the wiki's doing right now [...] is an insidious mix of both: it picks up community gossip, but not community standards; asks for input from the fans, but then won't let everyone edit; is one thing when it wants a piece of information kept in (becaus -

Tell people about them. Document what they do. Don't let them participate in your community, your mailing list, your journal. -
- resolute: Dr. Horrible, Sartre, and why I'm not surprised. - Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog exists in the same Whedonesque moral universe as all his other works. It exists in a world where random loss is the rule, not the exception. Where there is no order or justice except what we make for ourselves. -
- cereta: Something I've been pondering re: community modding - it's rare[...]for someone to be banned from a list/community/archive for actions taken on another list/community/archive. And there's just a general sense of "that is Not Done" about it.//And you know, I'm beginning to think this is a bad thing. -
- commodorified: Speak of the Devil (Without improving her Google Ranking) - But sometimes you want to discuss something, and you want to link to it, but you don't want to drive up its page ranking, for whatever reason[...]So, if you want to do that, you can do to your links what I just did to those: you use a nofollow tag -
- ethrosdemon: Ah, ok. As per metafandom, I'm glad to see that people are pinging - On the one hand, I think that if they are doing what they're doing with the purported goals they have, they should tell us who the HELL they are on lj[...]On the other hand, I respect that my desire is outweighed by another person's autonomy -
- the_willow: My Fandom - My fandom, my fannish space involves critique. It involves opinion, contrary or agreeing. It involves meta and analysis. It involves reviews. it involves constructive thought. It involves deconstructing the source. -
