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.

You already know how I feel about it. Anonymity is too tempting for the trolls who are most likely to abuse it.

I hope it doesn't get worse. I can't help feeling you may have just let them know they can get to you. (Me? Paranoid?) I guess we'll find out. :-p

Well, I can get to them, too. All I have to do is mention how Lizzie's gonna be sexless for a decade at a shot - because you know, that's what her character's all about according to many of them, having the sex. It's not defined by any other characteristic - patience, maturity, forbearance, level of self-sacrifice - it's all about how much sex she gets to have. With Jack.
