cimorenethe kerfluffle, folks, has now reached--dare we shrink from the term--debacle proportions. it's gone for a few weeks, it's grown a tail, and people are going after the innocent impartial journalists.
edit: i was wrong. cim's an idiot. the poem has not been taken down and the 'lesson learned' post came before it.
1. this one posted. summary: she shouldn't have posted the poem and allowed it to fall into the wrong hands. excerpt:
2. soon after that,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daisy_gamgee cooled down a bit and posted this. summary: she feels guilty when she loses her temper, which is why this is hard for her. but she thinks she should stop feeling guilty because she has the right to lose her temper. (i agree completely. don't feel guilty, dear.) of course, my interpretation isn't closed to debate. excerpt:
3.daisy_gamgee posted the poem excerpted below in this morning's update. summary: she can't control criticism, but she can control the story. if you don't like it, don't read it.
4. i posted this morning's update.
5.thechaosdiva posted [half-]jokingly in reply to my update that she wanted to throw not thou into the fire, but daisy_gamgee herself.
6. this thread sprang up from my post o' the morning between, initially, Miss Gamgee and Miss Chaos. quickly other things transpired, namely, i affixed my tiara more firmly and stepped briefly into the fray. basically (and we switch to the present tense becasue cim is more comfortable there):

Lesson Learned: *NEVER* hand over one single strand of my personal power to anyone who could not possibly have my best interests at heart.

Note to self: let it out a little at a time, and keep your boundaries intact. You don't have to pretend it doesn't bother you.

-claire was offended indirectly by the kerfluffle, as her friends were hurt by it.
-daisy thinks that if claire's friends were guilty, it was with reason. and she can't control her fans.
-claire explains that people are afraid of daisy's fans.
-daisy says that she responds to polite criticism and takes into account constructive criticism but that she was originally upset because of the impolite* and non-anonymous* character of the post.
-i point out that the politeness of the post was debatable and that it would have been anonymous if the ip address hadn't been traced.
-daisy sees that she should waste no more time explaining to me.
-i write this little essay on etiquette in the world of fandom queens. it numbers among its points some advice about grace and level-descending. (daisy takes my advice with a quite graceful, 'as i said, i shan't pursue it'! she descended not one whit, although she forgot to pretend she hadn't noticed, i think.)

Oh, and yes, the impaction of the manure against the air conditioning device is a delight to watch!
