Apparently I'm an evildoer and oh yeah, I read another book

[angela_o]

So, I got my first official warning at TWOP today. I violated a posting rule (I guess I should have read the FAQ after all) and was told that the tone of my post was "snotty". Just out of idle curiosity, how many warning before they ban you? I'd always heard that the site had wildly partisan attitudes and that disagreeing with the majority got you in trouble and I guess it's true.

We've also got another book update. #35 is Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie. A very wispy, ephemeral book that somehow lacked narrative cohesion. I enjoyed what there was of it, but kept expecting there to be more. It's almost as if this was a series of chunks taken out of a larger work and stitched together. I think I would have preferred the extended version. I always wonder how much is lost when a book is translated and this one did nothing to alleviate the fear that the answer is "a lot".

Not being a TWOP frequenter I can't answer the question about banning, but this did make me giggle. Poor Angela, always in the minority!

Well, I'm certainly in the minority on this particular issue. But, I have to say that it's funny to be on the edges of a fandom in the midst of implosion and totally non-invested in the 'shipper couple going into freefall. It's a very refreshing change of pace. lol

You, snotty? Nevah! ;) lol

I feel so much better that you have joined me in the ranks of the reprimanded. I mean, don't they know who we ARE?????? If this was Rosdom, we'd hand them their heads on platters. Morons. I don't go there anymore. I hate 'em. Plus, the VM fandom scares me a wittle bit. Some of them are like Rams times a million, but against other fans instead of against Katie Heigl.
