I am so, so sorry you're suffering this.

[pangea-tongue.livejournal.com]

Seriously, people?

Sorry, mermaidshotel. People are putting you through pointless internet bullshit.

[ziggymeg.livejournal.com]

No fun! Hope you get everything sorted out - I really love your community and general awesomeness.

[nonsense-at-all.livejournal.com]

Blah, I feel sorry for you.
People take themselves so seriously...

[igj.livejournal.com]

Please do remember that there are loads of people who love your community and value your work and your space. That includes me (I guess that was obvious).

i agree with what everyone else has said.

This is by far my favorite LJ community, not only for the content but for its lack of drama and its hilarious, laid-back contributors/commenters. So sorry you're dealing with this! I have an opinion of people of propagate Internet drama and it's not along the lines of "socially adept and easygoing."

[cyclonestruckit.livejournal.com]

I too count this community among my favorites.

Good choice.

You're doing a great job and I really appreciate all the posters in this community. I know we all get invested in our thoughts and opinions but I hope that this encourages people to can the drama.

Seconded, thirded and fourthed.

I'm beginning to think someone must have linked the community off of a popular Digg story or something.. The just seems like there was a rash of new posters who didn't quite get it all the sudden.

I look forward to not only the pics, but the hilarity that the fun-loving folks in this community generate.

It sounded, to me, like the flaming was between one person with three feuding personalities, and spewed just to make a maelstrom in the community, it seemed so unbelievable.

this has been, for the most part, such a nice community. I really enjoy the various posts. I only once objected about the Lysol feminine hygiene ads because they'd been posted so repeatedly, and by the same person, that it sure seemed to be purposely offensive. I believe that poster is at the heart of this little war here. It's a pity when people misbehave in public.

So sorry to hear you're having these dramas!

Thank you for such a fab community!

[geckoman.livejournal.com]

Hang in there! I love this place!

[seamonkey-mags.livejournal.com]

Aww -- try and remember it's a minority of the people who enjoy the community. :(

[dazedpuckbunny.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that! I'm new to the community and fell in love with it immediately and to see the drama that sprouted up yesterday was so sad and crazy. Everyone else is so funny and and light hearted!

[sicily-1922.livejournal.com]

Wow, I guess trolls took over the community this week. Sorry with all that was going on.

[otana.livejournal.com]

I feel awful for you having to clean up this mess of angry words. :/

[call-me-seymore.livejournal.com]

"inbox shooting bloody gobbets of spew and bile"

Heh... nicely phrased.

[kip-w.livejournal.com]

Late to the party, but I hereby kiss up to the mod. Do what you feel you need to do!

In fact, I'll kiss up to the whole community. As clogged as my FL is, I wouldn't delete it.
