apocalypsosYou know Crystalwank? Yeah, well, she confessed. Sort of.
And I'll say exactly what I said in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cleolinda's journal. I'll give her credit for apologizing. I don't put up with five things -- stupidity, bigotry, hypocrisy, bullshit, and lies. (This is, of course, why I love Dubya so much. *eye roll*) If you're willing to admit when you're wrong, though, I'll step back. Admittedly, she didn't say she was sorry for everything she's done, but at least she said she was lying and sorry about some of it. It's better than you get most of the time, especially when people have insisted on digging themselves a hole this deep.
What irks me is the friends-locked post, and the repost at fandom_wank. Already, people are yelping, "Ack! Friends-lock repost! Bad, bad, bad!" Which is understandable. But what gets me is that she friends-locked it when, as she says at one point in her post, someone on her friends list is reposting stuff to thread at fandom_wank. Which means she knew damn well that someone would repost it, and she friends-locked it anyway.
This means she now has a truly legitimate beef against fandom_wank that isn't OMG THEIR PIKING ON MEE!!11!WTF?! (Btw, it's really hard to type that stupid.)
And to be honest, I think she planned it that way.
Yes, it's The Wank That Ate Fandom, once again All. About. Crystal. She's like Marissa Cooper, in a way.
Urgh. I need to go write some porn to clear my head. Or, you know, clutter it with pretty naked people. Like this guy. (Where the hell does British royalty get off looking that good in a Speedo?! Dear Princess Diana, thank you for your gene pool. Sincerely, me, a great many other young heterosexual women, and numerous gay men.)

I think you're right. I saw the friendslocked post get reposted at fandom wank last night and I was immediately both suspicious and frustrated. Suspicious, because its clear Crystal posted that fulling expecting it to be reposted on fandom wank and played the situation to her advantage. Frustrated because it worked. Resposting friends-locked posts is a most definite fandom-wank no. And the justification people are pulling over there of "well she clearly knew and intended for us to put it up, so its ok to break the rules this time" just stinks to me. If they're going to say the TOS aren't biased towards fandom wank and they do take them seriously, then there shouldn't be "well she's a special super-duper wanker" reasons for flouting them.
Sorry, didn't mean that to turn into a rant, not aimed at you I promise.
