fpbI gave it to one particular person, and now I repeat it to everyone of the dozens of sad, vindictive, time-wasting twerps who cannot seem to live without finding something to blame me for.
Of us two, which one values the other the more? Which one goes looking for the other's writing, seeking for reasons to be indignant and sarcastic, hanging on to whatever reference may be twisted into a reason, an excuse, a springboard of any sort, merely to attach your name to mine? To me, you mean very little, except perhaps an occasional opportunity to be sarcastic at your expense. What is it that makes me so important in your eyes, that you just insist on commenting on me, as if I mattered? And, please, don't give me the usual nonsense about me being a pseud. The world is full of pseuds, but other pseuds like you do not generally get obsessed with them.
And now I have a suggestion for you. Forget I exist and do something constructive. Leave f_w and other similar gathering-points for inadequates and - write a song; write a story; draw something; start an OU degree - Hell, get a a CIMA qualification, become an accountant, draw up the accounts for a company. Do something saner with your time than persecute someone you do not know for reasons that do not exist.

Date: 2006-09-03 03:06 am (UTC)Or, as the person reading under my shoulder says (see, she's got the chair and I'm standing typing...), "the more characters, the more random pairings that you can tick people off with!!"
But that's not what ticks people off about FPB's posts, I'm gathering...

Date: 2006-09-03 05:16 am (UTC)Urk... two wisecracks in a row, which might suggest sarcasm, perhaps even hostility - and I really do not want that. But you did misspell it - check out six entries upthread.

Date: 2006-09-03 05:19 am (UTC)You know, after I got used to fandom, I started seeing everything in fandom terms. Some of those old academic wars about the interpretation of Shakespeare? Totally wanky.
