So very right

[lady_karelia]

You can write whatever the hell you want. Crackfic, rapefic, bdsmfic, whatever takes your fancy. I have absolutely no problems with that. In fact, I will defend this right on your behalf whenever and wherever necessary. But please realise that I also have the right to post whatever the hell I want. And if I feel the need to rant about something I find utterly tasteless, then I also have this right. And I will defend this right as passionately as I will defend anyone else's right to post what they want.

It's all about the right to express yourself, and it goes both ways. It isn't a case of "one is more right than the other," no, it goes equally both ways. And if you disagree with that, that's fine, too, as long as you respect the fact that there are simply two differing opinions, and nothing else.

Amen, Sista!

I was shocked that it appeared voicing an opinion about someone's comments was denying the person's freedom to write something...

What of mine?

Bwahahaha

~SW continues to type away and is unfazed...~

And I love the way people pull out, "Don't like it, don't read."

Then click away from mah lj post. Hahahaha

Blast! Doesn't work

Considering that our corner of the fandom tends to pride itself for its intelligence, I was quite shocked to see some of the comments on your post. Do some people intentionally misunderstand, just so they have a reason to wank? Sheesh.

I wondered that about the misunderstanding thing. But sometimes I guess it seems obvious to me because I know what I'm saying. Then again, others get it. Hmmm.... I dunno.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Umh, I think you express yourself very clearly. I don't have a problem with it, and I'm known to be confused very quickly.

LOL!!!!!

Ihr entkommt mir nicht!!

*iz impressed* All that Rammstein influence, eh?

[southernwitch69.livejournal.com]

Indeed!! :)

Gut gelernt, mein Kind. :-)

And the thing is, most were complaining more because it was Southernwitch that voiced her opinion, a big person in fandon, and the fact that because of who she is many people will see and know. Well, if the person posting didn't want anyone to know, then they shouldn't have posted.

I totally and firmly agree with every word you said.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

*nods* It makes me laugh every time someone accuses her of being powerful. She powerful because she treats people kindly, like a normal, kind human being does, and therefore, other normal, kind human beings treat her in that way as well. Not because she Imperios folks to become her minions. *cackles*

[cocoachristy.livejournal.com]

You got that right. ~snerks~ We should all have that power!

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

We should indeed. We do, except not everyone is aware of it.

So... let's plot taking over the world :))

Oh, hon...

Is this related to southernwitch69's rant? I have never understood how people can misinterpret a rant on a genre to a personal attack. I think they get overly defensive because deep down they think/know what they are doing is wrong.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it bugged me that people jumped up and down, chanting "If you don't like it don't read it," but at the same time were accusing her of wielding her power. It's both ways, no? If you don't like a journal entry, then don't read it, just as you would do with a fic. *snorts*

Well, fuck. I go Easter Egg hunting with the homeschool group and I miss out on all the good shit.

Ain't it funny how some people can't understand that free speech is a two-way street?

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Some people don't comprehend that most things have two ends. *sigh*

I wouldn't say you missed the good shit. Causing wank by purposely misinterpreting something very clearly written is never good, although it does reflect the sad state of humankind. *shrug*
