It's all a matter of perspective
May. 31st, 2007 06:59 pmFirst off, I'm still wading through the backlog and as that will take a while, I'm going to post now anyway.
Re the strikethough: While I don't agree with how Six Apart handled things, it's not like I've never fucked up. Since they've apologized and reinstated the fannish journals, I'm fine with that.
I will make a backup of this journal (once the rush is over) and I did make a Greatest Journal with my same handle. I doubt I'll use it unless this community dries up, which I hope it doesn't. And I joined![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fandom_count.
And I'm not going to lock up this journal. That doesn't fit in with how I define fandom--which is about sharing. Not that I'm that interesting, but still.... I hate that WFI can make so many fans go hide.
What effects me more is being unsubbed by a doctor who group. They unsubbed everyone because of a few bad apples and now you have to be vouched for by someone else before they will let you back in. Well golly gee, even though I always thanked people, I doubt I'll ever be let back in because 1) I don't know anyone on that list, and 2)I don't "participate" enough. Now mind you, I just got home from MediaWest where I sat in a few panels about Torchwood, but I bet traveling two thousand miles to rub shoulders with other fans doesn't count towards participation. You know? To me, this fannish unsubbing is a lot more unfair. I'm left to try to join other groups who may not be so exclusive.
