Well, that went better than it could!

Managed oddly reasonable discussion on the spork for a surprising while before someone summoned a mod who froze the whole thing because I was picking a fight by being there. Edit: link fixed. Dammit, me.

Edit the second:

It's not against the rules for you to comment here, unless you are picking fights or send people do to so for you. I'm not sure if you linking the spork back in your own journal is technically breaking the rules, so I will let Merv decide on that.

Jesus christ, this is just sad now.

Edit the third:

Yep, the only problem is whatever terrible, terrible person who told me, curse their evil troll heart and their hatred for all that is good. Even though I was already aware of the comm and would've found out no matter what.

Well, that's what it's turned into, hasn't it? With no quality control and an environment in which quality has never before been an issue, the idea that a spork could be as badly done as a fic has become just as taboo as the idea that you can spork a fic. All we're seeing play out is fanbrat wank on a meta level. It's even hitting all the same bingo points: you're the borg queen, I'm your sockpuppet, you're just a troll there to stir up trouble, you only want the internet to conform to your standards, etc.

edit: Ah, Mervin's response to you was reassuringly sane. Faith restored for the time being.

Hopefully this is all just a matter of no one having time to look at it originally and now they're playing catchup.
