(no subject)

I state my opinion quite frequently, whether or not it coincides with others' opinion. To do so is my right as an Authentic Human Being. Everyone has that right. Everyone also has the right to disagree with Your or My opinion. However, using someone's statement of opinion to drag down someone else is a very poor display of humanity. All you in the Harry Potter Universe, have you learned nothing reading the books? We are as strong as we are united, and we are as weak as we are divided. Yes, that's right. That is one sentence of true wisdom. Do we really need to cause major wank about trivialities? I think not.

We are all one, whether you realise it or not. We are all part of that wonderful infinitive intelligence some call god. Do we really need to cause all that discontent just because of ego? I think not, but a lot obviously think yes. Wake up, people. Are you really that blind to what's happening around you? So blind that you can willingly feed the wank? May you wake up.

It's early (for me), so I don't think I can coherently type.

Wank bad.

Fandom good.

Where's my coffee?

*grunts*

*sips*

*aaaah* I am a morning person in denial. And denial = getting up at 4.30...

When I see these postings, obviously showing some sort of kurfluffle, that's when I'm most content with my very small f-list. LOL

I hope whatever is happening can be resovled soon. I wouldn't want it to interfere with cranking out regular updates to my favorite stories. LOL (*selfish Mazzy*)

There is something about a small f-list *nods*

Worry not about regular updates of your favourite fics. Judging by the length of the queue, everyone has been busy writing, LOL. :)

What you say is so true.
I don't know whether these people are feeding the wank consciously - I think it's just part of who they are.
I guess not everybody can be a harmony-searching Hufflepuff like me, no?

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-12-22 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
If everyone were searching for harmony, it would be an ideal world. :) All I ask is that people switch on their brains and ponder the consequences of what they're about to say; that would definitely make the world a better place.

Quite well stated, and I can agree, being a magnet to far too many wankers (ha ha), but for some, wank is the only way they get noticed.

Yes, it always comes down to ego, doesn't it? Rather sad...

<.< >.>

Just curious, is this in any way in response to my recent post?

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-12-22 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, had to look up your post before answering. No, it isn't. I wouldn't consider your post wank in any way; it was a difference of opinions and you did what you felt was the right thing to do. :)

[identity profile] delayed-poet.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
*phew*

I so rarely express my opinion in long, drawn out posts that I was worried it might look that way. With that particular post, there are many people on my friends list who are members of that comm, and I still wanted to share the story with them, but I wanted there to be no doubt as to why it was posted on my LJ instead of at the comm.

I did feel it was the right thing to do. I didn't argue, bitch, complain, or try to make her change the rules, I simply took my writing elsewhere, which is my right. So, again, I'm very, very glad that it didn't come across as wank. :)

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
No, it never occurred to me to look at it as being wanky at all. :)

OMG UR SO RONG!!!

(just kidding! *hugs*)

*LOLZ* thanks for the laugh!

*hugs back*

Wank? I havent really seen any fandom wank. Maybe I am blind to it. Economy wank and holiday stress wank, yes. But I agree more SQUEE and less wank.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely more squee! :)

[identity profile] hogwarts-91.livejournal.com 2008-12-22 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well said. But why are strains of John Lennon's "Imagine" suddenly playing through my head? LOLZ...

Honestly, this is where the Hufflepuff in me cries, "Can't we all just get along?"

But then the Slytherin takes over and plots, plots, plots.

Wank you very much; please drive through.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good one, Imagine.

Plotting again? *rubs hands together in anticipation*

[identity profile] kittylefish.livejournal.com 2008-12-22 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
hear, hear! or is it here, here? suddenly i'm at a loss. in any case, can't we all just play nicely together and save the drama for our fics, where it belongs? wouldn't that be nice.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
It's hear, hear! *falls over laughing*

Wouldn't it be lovely if we all managed to play nicely together... If we keep wishing, it'll happen, I'm sure. :)

imagine me warbling, "when we wish upon a staaar, makes no difference who you are, anything your heart desires can come to you." :)

Ah, this Authentic Human Being doth speaketh with great wisdom.

I missed something apparently because I don't know what precipitated this. However, I do not even WANT to know. Why should I spoil whatever mood I've chosen to be in with others' negative attitudes?

Anyway, I am a true proponent of the fandom being united. Anyone who tries to tear it apart, honestly, takes all of this way too seriously and needs to get a life.

[identity profile] lady-karelia.livejournal.com 2008-12-23 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I agree. You don't want to know.

I'm a proponent of humankind uniting. Unfortunately, I'm fairly alone in this. LOL
