Check out this comment. I'm thinking it was someone on mah flist, because out of the PAGES of comments they singled mine out to respond to (also, the ridiculous spelling, etc. looks like something someone who knows me would perpetrate just to annoy me).

I was pointed to this post by someone on my flist, happened upon your comment, and may I say that if this lovefest has room for another I'd like to join. :DTheir reply was:
Your comments made me laugh- I totally agree, and while Stephenie Meyer is not Person of Interest #1 for me, I just can't stan' her. :P

Date: 2009-05-31 06:31 am (UTC)My first response to them was polite, but I followed it up with this:
By the way, if you want to be a really effective troll, you might learn to spell. Helps folks take you more seriously.
And I am not sorry. ;)
I should go to bed- it's 2:30am. See you later? (I logged on after the concert to make a few icons and decompress. Yagh.)

Sigh. We, as a species, are doomed. That's it. DOOMED.
On a slightly different note, why should his sexuality matter again? He's pretty. He's a good actor. He's funny. None of us will ever be in the position to know which way he swings. Why should it matter? That being said, why should it be something people can't discuss? As they said in the replies, they discuss every inch of his anatomy - why not his sexuality? I'm not saying they should, but the argument against such discussions is based upon flawed logic. Spock would not approve.
Now, I don't want to talk about it. I don't participate in groups like that for just such a reason - knowing too much about an actor ruins it for me. I prefer the mystique. But that doesn't mean that people shouldn't be allowed to whittle away their remaining brain cells discussing the minutiae of an actors life.
*shrugs* Our forefathers granted us freedom of speech.... though I have to wonder if they realized just how far we'd go with that. :)

Date: 2009-05-31 04:49 pm (UTC)The first response to this person was "Please direct this to the OP. Thanks." because I'm too damn nice for my own good, apparently. I wish my kneejerk response had been more like yours, but I'm just not as fearless, I'm afraid.

Date: 2009-05-31 03:06 pm (UTC)Maybe if you read the books 5 times you'd see her point about stephinie's lovely charictors.

Date: 2009-05-31 03:24 pm (UTC)And yeah, I'm only on reading #2 and I'm not likely to make that mistake 3 more times, thnx much. Xp

Date: 2009-05-31 03:41 pm (UTC)Though I'm not sneaky enough to post anonymously. I would have used my name - and then we could have faked ~drama and ended up on fandom_wank.
I think that shit it legit, though I think it may have been a case of her hitting reply to the wrong comment - nothing she bitched about poorly to you about had anything to do with your comment :D

Date: 2009-05-31 03:45 pm (UTC)Yeah, the fact that it had nothing to do with me lead me to believe it was one of you
jokersbut in reality it was probably just a case of premature commentification. Which is so sad, you know, because they do have creams and meds for it. IT DOESN'T NEED TO HAPPEN!!!(no subject)

Date: 2009-05-31 11:58 pm (UTC)So wait a minute. You're telling me she is now going to redo the existing books from Edward's point of view and people are going to pay her for it as though it's actually new content?
If JK Rowling tried to rewrite her series from, say, Hermione's perspective and pass that off as new material, people would freak.

Date: 2009-06-01 12:02 am (UTC)Honey, it's worse. She'd already started the 5th book- retelling the first book from Edward's POV- when someone snagged a PDF of it and spread it around, and when the author found out what had happened, she threw a hissy fit, hereafter known as a "Smantrum" (Stephenie Meyer= Smeyer+ tantrum= Smantrum) and announced that LIFE IS HARD and that WRITING IS HARD and that SHE FELT THAT SHE'D BEEN EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED and could not longer finish the book. Millions of fans were devastated apathetic.
And yeah, you hit the nail on the head. But Twi-hards are a whole different breed, apparently.

Date: 2009-06-01 12:11 am (UTC)So, uh, so much for trying to go toe-to-toe with Stephen King, eh?
I will give the publisher credit for doing a very good job of packaging and promoting the series. The cover design for the books is gorgeous and memorable. It's too bad it's being used to package the literary equivalent of a flaming bag of dog poo.
So, basically, someone got a hold of a galley copy, was probably offended as hell that this was going to be published and she was going to be paid some ridiculous sum for it, and spread it around to make the general public aware of how creatively void this chick is?
So if she can't finish the book, does that mean she has to return her advance? XD

Date: 2009-06-01 12:34 am (UTC)More like she knew Breaking Dawn was a raging failure and leaked it so that folks would love her again and then SNATCHED THE PRIZE AWAY.
So if she can't finish the book, does that mean she has to return her advance? XD
If only. Wouldn't it be nice if she were literally bankrupt the way her writing is bankrupt of sense, substance and... Yeah, I'm her biggest fan. ;D
