This calls for science

So The Keeper of Truth has shown back up to be crazy.

I reviewed two dozen people today, and yet the most batshit I get, complete with "you should be dead" and bonus PMS accusations, comes from someone I've never reviewed and who showed up months ago.

Further evidence for my theory that hatred is inversely proportional to how active I am. Now, to figure out why on earth that would be true...

Hm.

The weird thing is they don't even seem to be going about it all that well - I could try a google on a few names, but there's little impression they're doing all that much flaming...or much of anything else, either. There seems to be an awful lot of sitting around bitching on a forum, and occasional dogpiling of occasional fics. At least one had a personal forum just for posting people sending them angry responses, and there weren't many. But I think you're right - they think they're super flamers, just as they think their couple fics are a huge body of work, and they're then baffled when it doesn't seem to make an impression. Meanwhile there's someone else whose name keeps coming up...

So it's not even that I've been around longer, it's crazy entitlement because they really think they're doing something special and that everyone's inexplicably ignoring them. (There's definitely the recurring idea that if I wasn't there sucking up all the attention, they'd be on top) Maybe going on a review binge will have a quieting effect for that reason - they'll get an idea of how much work getting attention would be, compare it to their own efforts, and suddenly experience enlightenment. Or not.
