lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([btvs] ask me how)

if you know what i'm talking about, you'll understand, otherwise you should probably stay away

All I'm going to say about the current fandom kerfluffle is:

I find it kind of (sadly) hilarious that just a week or two ago we were having a discussion about whether or not our corner of BtVS fandom was dying out, and now we have absolute proof that we still care. A lot. A lot a lot. It's just kind of heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time that it's something this ugly (and repetative OMG IS THIS 2001? TALK ABOUT A BEADED DEAD PONY WHEN WILL THE UNFUNNY BUSINESS REPORT BE UP?) that is the catalyst. People, friends of mine, I support you in your righteous indignation, but I'm annoyed that this is happening AGAIN.

And now I'm going back to kpop land, where the shipper wars are just as intense but involve significantly less Opression Olympics.

Oh, weird! I used the Buffy the Vampire Slayer link and it stopped at Tabula Rasa for some reason. Now just at his main page I see it. Search fail!

Oh man. That's insane that it went that way. *sigh*

Yeah, for some reason you can't see it if you go through the BtVS link but only if you go through his main page. It's very strange--other people have thought it disappeared too, so you're not the only one. :D

It really is sad. I totally get that he feels very deeply about this, and that's FINE. I just wish he'd said that he didn't want disagreements (which would be fine--it's his blog) and then this whole thing could have been avoided.
