Some people, however, deserve the full treatment

As a regular target for the sanctimonious crowd in fandom_wank, I cannot be expected to like them. But I simply could not believe my eyes when I saw these vampires, who make their reputation by wrecking others', had the nerve to act all self-righteous. Believe it or not, they actually instructed their fandom - after having formed a fandom purely by holding people up to public ridicule - not to "troll" on the blogs that they themselves insulted! This has to be the most sublime act of hypocrisy since a British tabloid last took offence at anyone else's immorality.

In this case, I think I was justified in giving a very restrained suggestion of how hypocritical I found their attitude. But I honestly could not believe my luck when the person who replied showed every single feature they themselves love to discover in others - irritability, preciousness, vapidity, immaturity, self-regard, and a complete lack of self-awareness, let alone self-criticism. For your amusement and delectation, then, I give you: a perfect instance of fandom wank!

Don't we all just love fortified "elite" cliques and talentless hack cabals?

"... irritability, preciousness, vapidity, immaturity, self-regard, and a complete lack of self-awareness, let alone self-criticism."

Alas, it is so often what we find in the arts.
