rusty_haloPeter Tolan's posting over at the Rescue Me TWOP board.
Quite interesting. Though, of course, he had to get in the middle of an argument about whether a recent scene was or wasn't rape, so there's wank. His posts start on this page.
If you're not watching Rescue Me.... come on! It's good!
In other news, I went to a big brunch on Sunday.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drujan and I were discussing the recent Harry Potter wank, and slowly the entire table (7 non-fandom people) fell silent and gaped at us with mouths open as we explained the thing. It really is boggling.

But yeah, basically one person pretended to be many (both her own fans and worshippers, and also various vicious trolls who attacked her with racist and homophobic insults). And the goal of it all was to become popular in Harry Potter fandom and make friends with the well-known "Big Name Fans."
It's basically like a study of individual and group psychology in the internet age.
