Yeah, I can tell it's May ...

This makes the second troll my Will community has attracted from sparrabeth in the past month. (You've gotta scroll to the bottom of those pages for it.) Why do I think that? Oh, I don't know - just a hunch.

This wasn't a criticism of my writing style (which would be fair). It was simply an excuse to anonymously bitch in a minority forum and denounce anything that takes fan focus off Jack and/or Elizabeth.

And no, neither of these comments are particularly horrifying, but as it gets closer to May 23 and some J/E fans get meaner about not getting their way ... well, I haven't lived this long not to spot a problem a mile away. I don't want to have to resort to disabling anonymous commenting in a fan forum. Are there any community mods on my f-list who have dealt with this, with advice? I already made a short post asking "visitors" to the comm to be respectful of the members there, but I wonder if it'll work.

Geez o pete. I didn't realizing having a Will community would be like disagreeing with the Mafia! LOL


Seriously, I keep reading how J/E fans are so much older and more mature than us "13-year-old hormonal" Will/Orlando fans. Me no think so.

Crikey >:( Let's hope that sort of thing won't keep happening in the comm. It's good to address it before it becomes an issue, which is precisely what you are doing.

LOL! I agree, freedom of speech is a bit of a bitch sometimes :) I believe that people are entitled to their opinions, but I do find it rather lily-livered when someone makes disparaging comments anonymously, and I'm irritated when completely illogical and pointless things are posted, simply because I end up reading something trite when my eyes could have been put to better use. But hey, that's my opinion. How does the oft-used Voltaire quote go? 'I disagree with everything you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it'.
Hmm, sounds like something Will might say...
