Missed 20/06/2006, but not the wanking

slumberCan I help it if I'm just so utterly curious that I wonder what ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
delawarean's two updates last June 19 were all about? This is hardly any of my business, and of course what stays under friends-lock should remain friends-locked, but what I wouldn't give for a third-party omniscient perspective at this moment, if only so I know how everything's unfolding.
Do you honestly believe this beats Limeywank, though? I mean, hmm, the expose was quite impressively executed, no small thanks in part tocharlottelenox's flair for exposition, but is the actual wank content superior to faking death for the emo kids? Or any other wank, for that matter?
I know all the meta right now is about what revelations like Sockpuppetgate (or is it Scribewank?) mean for all of us, and I could go on about what I think in all those issues, but I am primarily an observer of the second degree, and that's why I choose to meta the meta.
[Poll #752243]
If it isn't there, then it's probably because it never reached a fandom country girl like me, which means it's likely not big enough. That, or I'd forgotten it. No ticky boxes for the kiddies because I don't like them. :|
There goes two nights' distraction. Hm. I suppose I could always just play with ice cubes or something.
ETA:gmth asks what we've gained and lost in fandom and allow me to deviate a bit from the friends answer (although I HAVE gained plenty of dearly loved ones), because in light of all the wanking and drama, I realised that were it not for fandom, I'd never really, fully know what it's like to be in what Hollywood purports as a typical high school. My high school was so much tamer than this jungle. ♥♥♥

Date: 2006-06-21 09:38 am (UTC)Stepping back from the whole brouhaha, I realised the same thing. I tried to explain to Line why everyone's up in arms about this and I just went all "What?" on my own explanation. It isn't quite as interesting as the way Charlotte Lennox put it, and damn now I really want to know who she is.
