I didn't thank you for being insistent, did I? I do, now, that was a good thing you did, posting with your name and yelling at me until I reacted. I don't want that to be drowned out by the other issues. Thank you.
I really would like to give you the benefit of the doubt. But I'm having a hard time doing it. These wank sites you praise so highly, I'm following them, never fear. I see what crap gets posted there. Sometimes these people are so desperate that they take every excuse to just be able to post something. As I said to your friend on your flist, the other day they had fanfic there. For crying out loud! If you can't see how ridiculous this is, then I'm sorry for you.
Mary is well aware that she offended you and she is more than willing to post an apology, but we'll have the other issue run its course first.
Certainly you see that there is a difference. I'm sorry that you and other women of colour were offended by her words, but surely that can be forgiven, since she understands it and tries to do better. We all make assumptions from time to time as I tried to tell you earlier. I would not have interfered at all if it had been only for Mary's post.
That other issue, however, can't be tolerated, nor forgiven easily and I am glad you were insistent enough to bring it to my attention.
There is a misunderstanding here. Snapedom is not a safe space per se. It is a safe space for Snape fans to say what they want if they are ready to fend for themselves. This is not the case on many other sites where you used to be shouted down if you said as much as 'Snape isn't all bad.' I've been there, I know how it goes. Not on all boards, but on some, and on many of the big ones. But not here.
I only step in very rarely, I simply don't have the time for strict moderation, and I seldom participate in discussions. But if people are up to it, they are welcome to go on whichever tangent they like, within reason, and as long as they keep it to fictional characters. Yes, there is a difference.
So, if you take things personal, tell people that you feel offended but don't generalize and act as if you own canon, the definition of racism, the world and everything, The Truth(TM). Learn to differntiate between someone who is callous and someone who is thoughtless. The first will yell, the second will apologize. Look at who can be argued with and who always goes off on a tangent. And I tell you something, even if you roll your eyes and think: they again, here we go... sometimes, among the wilde ideas, there is actually something interesting you might not have thought about earlier. And that's what counts. Not all people on fandom_wank are self-righteous pricks. Not all people on snapedom are deluded fangirls.
So, if I can let the wank sites wank all they want and don't go to troll there, why do they have to come and troll here? They can wank on their sites all they want, but I don't tolerate trolls and anyone who's associated with trolls here. And what do you know, we're on fandom_wank again. How surprised I am!
