Fangurl dust-ups

::Sigh...:: As if I didn't have enough on my mind, I have to have fangurl kiddies breathing firesoda bubbles down my neck.

Read this first: http://www.livejournal.com/users/matrixrefugee/121947.html?thread=113499#t113499

Now read this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/ladynyks/218076.html I'm lucky to have friends like Nyks.

I discovered this email when I first started reading my messages. This from the straight-to-the point Ruby: ( Cut for length )

And the leech also attacked Laurie, on her LJ, for the same reason. See here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/crowdog66/122646.html?thread=303638#t303638 . Grrr... If she's that successful, why does she have the time to pick on a grocery store clerk like me?! It's the working stiffs like myself that keep this world going. She's a model. So what? In ten years when she hits thirty-five, she's gonna be lucky if she can keep that job, once her metabolism starts to slow up and she starts gaining weight. I'd like to see her try to wrassle a thirty-pound bag of dog food, or push a fully-loaded shopping cart in bad weather.

Let me write a reply to her comment, which was much more scathing than my snarking at her fic:

I just wanted you to know that me and my friends had a great laugh about those topics - and especially about your passion about wasting your time on such a childish negativity.

This is childish negativity: UR FIC IZ TEH SUXX0RZ!!!!!!1111 GO @ HEL U BIATCH!!!!!1111

This is one of the things I said about her fic: "Quote [From the fic, gives you a taste of what I'm dealing with here]:
No. I can't do this, he thought. I can't kill her. Not after what I've learned from her. She changed me...

He's just a computer program. He's not real. This is not real, she thought, looking at him. He's just a program.... She looked at him. Oh God I can't do this...

Agent Smith, a sentient program, designed to search and destroy, was experiencing a new wave of emotions. He felt sadness. And frustration. He was frustrated by the fact that he was a sentient and she was a human. And by the fact that he couldn't bring himself to destroy that girl. "

I wrote: "Bzuh? Smith *HATES* humans, if he could be said to hate at all. One little Mary Sue isn't gonna make much difference. In fact, if there's one "Matrix" character who's likely to bump off Mary Sues, it's Smith."

Geez you people have nothing better to do that flaming a young and successful girl. I guess that a practising Catholic just cannot stand another 24-year-old Catholic model and Graphic Designer with looks and brains and attitude - and success, I might add.

I wasn't flaming you. I didn't post any reviews, and certainly not of the "DIE U MOTHERFUCKING COMMUNIST" variety that I've gotten recently. If you're Catholic, your attitude does *not* seem like the attitude of a faithful Catholic. And if you're so successful, why are you so uptight about my comments? It's like someone going after the guys who created MTS3K for snarking at their movie. Why should the remarks of a grocery store clerk bother you so much? Are you that insecure about it?

God forgive all your sins.

Amen.

Since when is it a sin to not like someone's story/movie/book/etc. and admit it in a public forum? Have you never read movie reviews? I've seen some that were a lot more scathing than my remarks. I was merely pointing out where the logic in that story didn't square with the logic of the movie it was inspired by.

I hope He forgives my sins, but you aren't the one to judge which of my actions are sins and which aren't. Turn the other goddamned cheek while you're at it, willya?

The Houseparty adds their voices to the chorus of Selina-Snarkers

Cecie: "God, I hate Matrix fanbrats, and I've met enough of them. Some of the fics they write make me wonder: Did they watch the same series of movies that I saw??? Jeez. If she likes Smith so much, she should meet my godfather: He looks like him and he's got about the same personality."

Frank: "Holy moly... That gal is a piece of work. She seems to think she's the cat's pyjamas, when she ain't."

Hal: ::Finding one of Selina's photos of herself on her DeviantArt page:: "Damn... that gal's tits put together probably weigh more than her brain. I wouldn't hit on her if she were the last woman alive."

Constantine: "Hey, if she ever gets too old and fat to still work in modelling, she can get a job working for Midnite... as a zombie waitress. Not much of a change, if y' ask me."

The Merv: ::Has a hit out on Selina: wants her head on a silver platter::

Flood: ::Was last seen slipping out the back door, clad in one of the off-the-rack suits he used to wear before he started working for the Merv, and stuffing a roll of steel wire into his pocket::

Ref: "God, she's obviously never had Agents on her heels. Those things don't care one way or the other about regular old coppertops. But Rebels... hoh-oh, that's another story. I'd like to see her try to get friendly with an Agent, especially Smith."

Emily: ::Knows Smith from DegSep, has a healthy, respectful fear of him::
