FanFiction.Net crazies are crazy. (They just don't seem as bad as LiveJournal crazies.)
The wank_report thing if they are minors is lulz, grudge stupidity as it will never make fandom_wank. And that's a severe case of not getting it to report you to yourself. When you run something, you can kind of make the rules yourself... and it is hard to convince a person that they are being rude by swearing if the rules that a person didn't prohibit that action. (I'm neurotic about my own rules. If I get caught breaking them on accident, I tend to self flagellate excessively and have other admins help me figure out how to make amends.) And even if that is the case, some degree of stupid.
The reposting is WTFery. Why did they repost it? Were they sporking or plagiarizing or...?
The nice thing about people on FFN is that they all seem to grow up eventually. Or go away, I don't really keep track.
I'm not even clear on what they thought they were doing
The repost is a halfway rewritten version by someone who reviewed the story twice. Considering the story is weird and has a lot of tiny things that are important, the result is a terrible mess. I'm leaning toward telling them to just credit me and ask permission next time, and that they really shouldn't pull this with anyone else.
