veronica_richThis makes the second troll my Will community has attracted from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
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.

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...
