You know, I like FCA-L, because it makes me think about fandom and the things surrounding it. But sometimes, I'd like to hit the majority of them over the head with a large mallet. People, can we please lose the snobbish attitude? *rubs temples* I may be hyberreational, but I hope I've never told anyone anything to the effect of "You seem to be getting very emotional, I'm sortry of the critisism upsets you." It's possible to be rational and not stuck-up, and anything approaching sarcasm does not have a place in a rational discussion.

(Don't mind me, I'm grumpy. My head hurts, my knee is seriously hurting, and it's not the tendons this time, and I'm just generally in a bad mood, and there's that bloody TRAINING! Blar.)

I was just about to post an entry on that very thing! But I decided to check my friends page first, so now all I have to do is agree with you. My reaction is a little different, though-- these people crack me up. The more pretentious and ridiculous their analogies become the more I enjoy the discussion. It's pretty much the main reason I stay on the list even though I've never posted or even felt tempted to. And I realize that it's probably the fact that I've never actively participated (ooh, look at me, I'm passive! heh) that I can sit back and watch the discussions with detached amusement. That's not to say I never get angry or frustrated by some of the attitudes, I do. But there's always some smart, articulate person who comes along and argues my point for me so I don't have to.

Yeah, the better-than-thou attitudes grate me sometimes, too -- though never as much as one-line "this is how it is and anyone who sees it differently is living in a dream world" replies to questions. And that's an almost exact quote! Grar.
