Okay, I'm pissed and I need to vent.
Apr. 29th, 2001 02:06 amIt certainly is a bit difficult to vent properly here since both Melle and Michela are on my friends list and I surely do not wish to offend anyone of them, but I'm miffed and I need to rant and bloody hell, this is my LJ!!! So there.
I successfully intervened in a flame war to be on my ML. Both my mods agreed on the way I handled this, all was fine. I intervened in an absolutely impartial way! Surely, it's no secret that I personally don't much like het fics, but that wasn't at all part of my message, which, btw, was no admin post at all. I showed my intervention to several independent people and everybody said that it was impartial. So there. I straightened things out with Michela on ICQ, or at least I hope I did since I was interrupted and she was gone by the time I got back to the 'puter.
Now, hours later, the thread is picked up again and I get personally attacked in my function as a listmod, or rather, not personally, since it was said behind my back in a way. I have the suspicion it wasn't even meant to go on list, but it did and now I'm really really pissed.
People might think they know me. They're reading my LJ and think they know how to interpret what I say. Fine. I don't like het fics. I'll say it again. I. Don't. Like. Them. What do I do about it? I don't read them. End of subject. Someone loves het fics? It rocks their world? Cool! No objections to that. I'm a sarcastic person, I say stuff that's exaggerated. It's not always to be taken literally. "Beware of the het side of the Force" to me is no call for bashing all het fics. Nemi was a bit too acid, okay. Michela spoke her mind. Okay. Both were told to cool it off. Fine. Where's the fucking problem?
I'm feeling underappreciated yet again. I try to make this list a friendly place for everyone. I see Michela's point. Everybody should feel safe here. If this would become some sort of het-fic bashing, I'd stop it. However, shouldn't everyone be entitled to speak their mind? Michela could, too, of course, but I thought that it was a bit too long ad eloquent to be just a raising your hand and say you disagree. And Nemi was over the top as well. So I intervened, kindly. I just wanted them to get along!
And now I'm suddenly the bitch who takes sides and bashes everyone who's straight. That's just not true, dammit! It's not fair! There's nothing I hate more than having to read something to the effect of "I was tempted to say something, but didn't". I wish I could sort things out with people immediately.
Bloody hell, I'm just so angry. I love them all. I want them all to stay on the list and have fun. They are all precious members of the list and I appreciate their input. I hate this situation, I just can't tell how much.
I feel kicked for no fair reason...
This just sucks.
