People I like. People I find witty, intelligent, sensible, amusing.

They're also people who like TWoP.

And now, I find this: twopfans.

What the fuck? Am I missing something here? Does TWoP not suck now? Did Glark, Wing, and Sars turn the reins over to sane people? Did TWoP start being funny again and stop being a fascist state? When did that happen?

Actually, you know what, even if it has happened, I still hate them, because they banned my ass for no good reason. So there.

...huh? *confused look*

I don't *dis*like TWOP, I guess. I don't...I don't go there much, but...

...huh?

Hee, they had an awesome reason for banning me. I posted Caz's letter on the complanints board.

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

I remember that! You were the brave one!

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

Didn't they ban you and reinstate Caz, or something weird like that?

[patricia250.livejournal.com]

I don't even remember- it feels like all of that was so long ago. It was so much fun though, wasn't it?

[vampychick.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes.

I know Caz got banned and then reinstated and re-banned, but I can't remember the exact order of events.

It is a very long story. I have irrational vitriol.

You've got a link to them in your sidebar, you see, is what gave me the impression you liked them.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, or bothered you, and that I confused you. I'm not expressing myself well lately.

How to win friends and influence people?

<---Not something they've read, I'm sure.
You see, in every fascist country, and in times of dictatorship, there are people who identify with their "benevolent" leaders, and try to embrace their qualities, and even take on the responsbility themselves of spreading that style. They've infected LJ, they've infected Blogger, Diaryland, etc, etc. A brand of ultra-snobbiness like no other. And Aaron Sorkin is right.
This is the only really mainstream criticism I found of the place. (http://search.netscape.com/ns/boomframe.jsp?query=flak+magazine%2Btwop+criticism&page=1&offset=0&result_url=redir%3Fsrc%3Dwebsearch%26requestId%3Ddce9afab9a9da488%26clickedItemRank%3D1%26userQuery%3Dflak%2Bmagazine%252Btwop%2Bcriticism%26clickedItemURN%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fflakmag.com%252Ftv%252Ftwop.html%26invocationType%3D-%26fromPage%3DNSCPSuggestion%26amp%3BampTest%3D1&remove_url=http%3A%2F%2Fflakmag.com%2Ftv%2Ftwop.html)
I joined shortly after they got Yahoo!'s big throbbing cock of money inside them, and I had no idea that there were the "good old days", it was just something to do while I was unemployed. I immediately got a warning for something really asinine. I should've quit then, but Nooooo! I'm not a quitter. By August, I decided to get myself banned. I migrated over to Fametracker, which is an even more lethal form of haughty snobbiness. I patented a really unique brand of trolling that kept me from being banned, but still, people had talk shit behind my back and stop just short of saying something bannable to me. I suspect most of those snots have never even kissed anybody.
I don't know, either,vampychick, usually when I get fed up with something, I let it go, and leave it alone, but there's a special kind of evil I can't put my finger on, that makes me go back and wonder why other people didn't say "Fuck it!" and quit. The whole experience soured me on fandom, now, I hardly care about it.
Once you're banned, you're shunned, too. People won't answer e-mails, or IM you anymore. They're hooked. I hope that this Yahoo! thing doesn't work out. I think my life would've been better if they had gone out of business before I discovered them.
It's not just the mods, it's some of the users. I have in my mind about twenty people who dominate damn near everything over there. I would have never, ever bought a t-shirt, a sticker or a coffee mug with that stupid ass "Tubey" character on it.

Forgot to remove the Netscape results. (http://flakmag.com/tv/twop.html)

That's how I found this, BTW.

I was wondering. Hi!

[generic-gothic.livejournal.com]

I go back and look at Forum issues, questions and comments, and Troll Patrol/Forum Traffic court once in awhile.
It's like the frickin' most insane ego-trip ever.

Don't e-mail mods about warnings, bannings, etc, etc, you broke a rule we just made up because we don't like you! (IMHO)blah, blah, blah,
but, Buy our t-shirts! Buy our mousepads! Our servers sound like a Yeti in heat because of the n00bs! Give me you fu**ing wallet if you're going to read without posting!

Quite possibly what you don't read over there.

[generic-gothic.livejournal.com]

Your warning was clear. It was three in the morning, and there weren't enough posts in my suck-up thread, so I decided to get harsh on five or six long time fans who supported this website through thick and thin. I'm a bully! Wah!!Wah!!
