... G*thic scum are accusing a mob of anarchopunks and fellow-travellers of authoritarianism.

In the manner of John W. Campbell's splendid 'Who goes there' (Filmed as 'The thing from another world' and 'The thing') I look forward to the development of a simple blood test for Rules Lawyerdom (and Entitlement) so that I may wield the electrified pitchfork of righteous justice.

Are you talking about the fun & games on a.g. & a.g.c. or somewhere else?

Alt.gothic mostly.

I would bang on about the online reputation economy, but it's largely redundant. This would be the lurkers supporting you in email LJ.

What's particularly sad is that the G*thic Scum in question is the chair of the C13 committee.

Goes to show exactly how far out of whack the event has gone when someone organising a Convergence has no respect for the_siobhan and hellsop in particular (Mac & I are mouthy & opinionated enough cunts that I can understand people who don't know us all that well believing we might be will to indulge in unscrupulous shenanigans).

As Pat may have mentioned, this is the last time that's going to happen.

So I see now I'm caught up. Were I of cynical bent, I'd think it was business as usual for US political wossname.

Ugh. All a bit rubbish.

I thought a.g had died long ago! I'm too scared to go take a peek.

It's actually in pretty good shape these days.

There's a reasonably sized crowd of regulars & the days of hordes of newbie idiots is pretty well over because they all go to LJ or Myspace or Facebook or whatever.

Friendlier than back in the day 'cos of that too.

I'm finding it slightly amusing. :)

I have clearly been reading the wrong threads; I must go have a look :)

What you say? Perhaps we need to go back and take a look at this this evening.

should I post something that says "don't make me come back there..."

I thought about sticking my head above the parapet, but it just turns into a pile-on.
