Like shooting fish in a barrel...

Dear random commenter who has now been banned from commenting on my journal, as your comment was quite out of place. I am now going to make an example of you. But feel glad, as I have left out your name so no one else will go bitch at you.

"I'm lost as to when you had the right to be talking crap on a DECENT community, when you can't even realize your own hypocrisy. I may not be overly active in the hydeist community, but I know for a FACT that all mods work hard at what they do, and are dedicated fans to Hyde and ALL his projects.

You run a Gakuhai community, when you're not even a GACKT fan. Maybe I'm incorrect, but I definitely see something wrong in that. If you're such a great Hyde fan, then maybe you yourself should've started the Hyde community yourself and done it the way you liked it, instead of letting some supposed "idiot mods" run it?

I'm a little disappointed with BOTH fandoms, to tell you the truth. Maybe we should all stop being such elitists and just be FANS."

First of all, let me say that _hydeist is far from a decent community. More than half the posts are "quick! download me!" crap. Although I have nothing wrong with sampling downloads or downloads of extremely rare files, I think there's something horribly wrong to take everything from an artist's career and give it all away. Especially when you know the people taking it are now not going to buy the albums. What's wrong with that? Well, unlike some fans, I'd actually like Hyde to produce albums in North America or possibly even open up Hydeist to international fans. The complete and total lack of support (or even respect) for the artist by downloading all his works instead of buying what one can shows that they don't really care. Myself? I have both of Hyde's albums, most of his singles, 4 Laruku albums, his Rock Rock Rock photo album and his 2004 calendar. Not to mention the fact that I've bought dozens of his works for other people as well. If you truly love an artist, you support them. And, quite frankly, they won't open up to North American fans if they don't see a market for it. As for whether the mods work hard. Well. Let's just say I run more communities and websites than the three of them combined. I also am a full-time college student, volunteer and am looking for a job. Yet I still manage to do as good, if not better in most cases, a job as them. And, yes, I am allowed to be critical of other people's moderating skills, especially when I've been doing it longer than some of them have had a livejournal.

Next, what the hell does liking Gackt have to do with liking gakuhai? Gakuhai is based on the idea of Hyde and Gackt as a yaoi pairing. It has nothing to do with whether or not I enjoy listening to Gackt's music. And you want to know why I didn't start a Hyde community? See above paragraph. I had enough on my plate. Besides, there was no need for one. All Hyde news was being reported either in gacktxhyde or larcenciel. I greatly dislike the idea of becoming redundant. Creating a Hyde community would have basically been me copying myself. Sounds kind of stupid, doesn't it?

Umn? Sweetheart, did you even read my post before you commented on it? I think that's exactly what I said. That I'm disgusted with both fandoms. Thanks for repeating me. Oh, and by the way, I'm not being elitist. I'm trying to find a place where I can be a FAN OF HYDE'S MUSIC and NOT HIS LOOKS. Gee. Rocket science, there.


Also, tell your friends to fight their own fucking battles. How can you be a good moderator when you can't even stand up to the fact someone doesn't like your community? I have anti-communities to some of my comms. See me care? Not really.


sincerely,

You go girl ^^ I totally agree with you ^^ I have also started to get quite worked up as well about how he isn't apreciated like I think he should be. I am glad that you have told that person off like you did ^^ Can't have ppl going around with no proper knowlege of our Hyde. Hmm I doubt many of them even know his worst life experience, or what his child hood was like, or even his bday. I am here if you want to talk on aim. I have gotten a new screen name though. *is in user info*

The worst part was, she didn't even actually attack any of my statements I'd made, just me in general. It's not hard to knock someone over if they're standing on one leg.

And thank you for the offer, but I'm heading to bed shortly. :)

Okies ^^ Sweet dreams.

A-fucking-men.

WTF, it's your journal; you should be able to say what you feel in it! e_e;

Rude, rude, rude~, I don't understand how someone could say that stuff to you. >_<

[lirimaer.livejournal.com]

She can feel free to defend herself if she wants, even if it is obvious that she specifically came to my journal because someone pointed out the post in question to her and was probably just doing it because her friends can't stand up for themselves. The least she could have done was offer me a valid argument as to why I was wrong.

*shrugs* I've had to deal with shit like this before. It comes with being well-known in a fandom (a BNF, or big name fan, if you will) people tend to stalk your journal and get upset when you suggest an opinion about something within the fandom that's not the same as theirs.

It's your journal. You can say what you want.
But on the other hand, it wasn't a friends-lock post, so you never know who will drop by to write comments. With the freedom of speech kinda thing in mind, they are entitled to what they want to reply as well (and of course you can delete them if you feel like it ^_-).

In any case, I guess what I wanted to say was that you coulda left the post in there for others to comment back on her own post, if you're evil enough. But you're not, so you did the random commenter thing. I guess that's also to save yourself some sanity points for not keep on getting those notification emails :b

I have no problem dealing with comments that come up. However, she was just plain being rude. I don't/didn't know her at all, we had no communities or friends in common, so there isn't really a reason for her to even be looking at my journal. And when she does simply to insult me, well, I don't want that, thank you, banned, good night.

Actually, a large part of why I deleted her original comment was that I didn't want anyone else to attack the girl who posted to me, either. Unlike some people (ie her) I don't directly hate at people because of their opinions. If they do something stupid, on the other hand...

I know... That's why I said you're not evil!
