ninety6tearsTime to blather about something that doesn't matter.
Over the last few months, I've become a regular on the QAF boards at IMDB. I like a lot of the people who regularly hang out there, and there's a good sense of friendly community. In fact, half the time we're making off-topic posts just to get to know each other because we've already discussed the actual show to death and multiple reincarnations. Lately, though, the serenity has been disrupted by a certain condescending, antagonistic, childish and ignorant entity who goes by tigerlily something-or-other. First she starts attacking the opinions of Aulic, which is the funniest fucking thing ever because you can tell by the level of writing maturity she has to be like fifteen years younger than him. "tigerlily" doesn't exactly write like a grade schooler but she doesn't have to to present her lack of sophistication. She makes comparisons to um...the Holocaust (referring to it as "the 'Caust") and...something about autistic children? to make extremely nonsensical comparisons about, I don't know, people that get passionate about the show, saying, "We just need to get over it already. I mean, six years is way too long to still be caring about 9/11." Motherfucker say that again?
Bitch got busted by the troll patrol. Shortly after the username "tigerlily" was suspended by the administrators (probably because of aforementioned insensitivities), somebody made a post saying that they could confirm with a lot of certainty that she was the same user as this other "chetkpr" who makes a lot of posts for the sole purpose of pissing people off. The sudden appearance of "samla", tigerlily's "best friend" who gave the message that she "left the boards because she was tired of all the immaturity" is also suspicious, since it's probably just her way of lurking on what we're saying about her, and anyway, why would somebody like that have any friends. Whether she really is some psychobitch internet schizophrenic who has multiple unpleasant message board entities or these are all different people, if you go to the profiles of either of these users, they make a disturbingly abundant amount of updates all over IMDB, which practically confirms the suspicion that they are in fact trolls. Because that's what trolls do. They don't have lives apart from simply pissing people off via the internet. Consider the fact that "chetkpr" - who by the way used to have a different username and has been busted before - seems to devote his or her life to hating something in the way that most of internet fandom spends their time loving something. This user has as entire site devoted to proclaiming a hatred for the character of Brian Kinney, and in line with that, the actual personality of the actor Gale Harold, who, by the way, has very little in common with the character. Look, I like Brian Kinney and I think Gale can be pretty hot, and if somebody disagrees with that, that's fine. But spending abundant amounts of personal time on desperately seeking agreement with your dislike of something or someone seems to indicate some level of psychological instability. I mean, what the fuck. The only reason this crap is getting to me is not even because I'm annoyed, but because I've realized that somebody who has just been harmlessly annoying me for a while could actually have something seriously wrong with them.
The internetz is crazy, man.

Date: 2007-06-20 01:29 am (UTC)Considering the themes of this particular show, I'm actually kind of amazed there aren't much more troublesome dipshits there all the time. Like that one who went on a rampage reporting random BBM posts as being in violation of the terms of service and getting tons of innocent discussions deleted. Oh the maturity. *clings to Aulic and Bast and Zach and SheBear and all the lovely sane people*
