Just curious: what's so terrible about my being on your flist and not *GASP* checking with you and Fandom_Wank to make sure I only agree with you, on everything, before I post?
Do you require that everyone agree with you? It's clear that FW has the whole clique-y bashing profanity and dissing thing going, the STFU IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH US, and oh yes. The linking to posts (like this one) that you don't agree with, followed by adolescent forms of ridicule. (Boobies? Calling names? So not a discussion.)
That's why FW is over there... and this is over here. I realize that many people are more comfortable only being with people they agree with, and/or speaking in only one "register" (for example, boobies, obscenity and threats versus reasoned discussion of arguments). Nor do I have any objection to a person believing that one is a "higher" form of behavior, more fun, easier, more popular, whatever. Discourse varies, and I'm totally committed to that fact.
But if you want to diss me on FW, as you've done, and invite trolling by FWankers over here, as you did, please reflect on whether this is in keeping with (a) FW rules (it isn't); (b) meta3's spirit (also not very); or (c) your purpose for having me on your flist. Because I'm certainly *not* going to clear my every thought ahead of time with you or FW. Knee-jerk mob hysteria such as FW indulges in is pointless to me except as a rich sample for scholarly analysis of CMC issues.
I do *not* have a problem with people who love FW also hanging out here. Others who mod and advise this site may ask that the policy change, and I would be fine with that too. But FW officially *does* have a policy against people doing what you have done here -- which I am aware is done frequently by many who are FW regulars; I'm not at all singling you out. Even though that policy is regularly flouted by FWankers, it exists for a reason.
Meanwhile, my question still is: Do you believe that your flist should agree with your and/or FW's opinions? People who think independently of peer pressure, or at least try to, are pretty common online, and that's the kind good meta is made of.
