I added a line to the AllAboutSpike review page which states:

Note: Positive and constructive reviews are welcome. Reviews that bash a story or author will be deleted.

Honestly, you'd think this would be common sense.

But no, apparently it's someone's constitutional right to rudely bash an author on my site just because the reviewer didn't like the author's view of the characters. And I'm guiltly of "censorship" for removing their nasty comments from a site that I created, maintain, and pay for. Uh huh. Well now it's common knowledge; you attack an author on my site, you will be deleted. (Thankfully, 99% of people already know not to do this.)

I also had to go through my forum and delete a bunch of posts because a couple of people decided to start bitching at each other over nothing.

Stupid fandom.

I need more chocolate.

Went to the health food store and got chocolate. Mmmm ... chocolate. (Tropical Source makes really good vegan chocolate if you're curious).

I decided to drop the "Literary Interpretation" class I was taking next semester. Instead I'm taking a science class called "Science Studies and the New Medical Genomics." I'm not a sciency person, but my school requires that you take one math or science class (hehe, only one; I'm lucky). I graduate next year and this is the only requirement I haven't fulfilled yet. It actually looks pretty interesting:

[livejournal.com profile] deborahmm has a wonderful post explaining how the "Spike as serial killer" thing just doesn't make sense. I've felt this way for a long while, and she articulates why really well. Read it here.

She's also got a nice post about the inherent racism of the Jossverse demon/human metaphor, which you can read here. It goes well with [livejournal.com profile] paratti's post on a similar topic here.

It's 7:15 and I'm still at work. Why am I still at work? Well, mostly because my chair is more comfortable here than at home, and my keyboard at home sucks, and my apartment is really hot. Just have to remember to clear my browser cache before I go ... I really don't want my boss to see the NC-17 S/X that I've been reading.
