Just came here to say this- nobody has any reason to lick Lori's ass (although that's a rather nicely alliterative statement). She doesn't have particularly special that anyone wants. She doesn't ask people to tell her when she's being talked about. They come to her because they care about her. Wouldn't you want people to tell you that you're being badmouthed by someone you thought you respected, or are you accustomed to having two-faced friends?

And she's not lying when she says she doesn't bitch about fandom in her personal journal. Seriously, there is absolutely nothing juicy going on in that journal that any of ~you~ would be interested in. So no hypocrisy here.

1. There have always been sycophants who bow and scrape around a BNF in the hopes of picking up some kind of favor/shine/e-peen.

2. The person in question wasn't on the mod's f-list, and wasn't her friend, so that's a strawman.

3. If I ran a community I wouldn't give two shits what people, even members, were saying about me in their own private journals. I would only care about how the comm was running. People don't like me, that's their business. The fuck do I care as long as the comm is fine?

[rhapsodyinpink.livejournal.com]

1. Yeah, but Lori doesn't give out favors or anything of the sort (and I've been on her f-list for six years now so trust me on this one)

2. Not a strawman, but related to the topic at hand. What's conveniently left unmentioned in this secret is that this person was a member of several of Lori's communities and respectfully interacted with her on a regular basis. Which is why Lori was surprised to find out that said user had a major bone to pick with the way the (multiple) communities were running. But she never said anything directly to her and instead chose to bitch about her. Lori's always been pretty transparent about wanting to hear directly if people don't like the way a comm is being run. We even made a post in the M_H comm asking people to come to one of us mods directly with their concerns. And some people did.

This user didn't, however, and instead created a post complaining about Lori and the comm, without EVER sharing any of these thoughts with Lori, but still benefiting from the information provided there. So Lori banned her for not being upfront and honest. Which she has every right to do.

Personal. Business. Is. Not. Community. Business.

She's the owner. She can do whatever the fuck she wants. Doesn't make it good practice, or good for the community. All it was good for was boosting her own ego by making sure she's only surrounded by yes-men.

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

Honey, there are 429 members. I could not possibly make sure they were all "yes-men."

[allicapri.livejournal.com]

Meh. If you boot dissent what are you left with?

Prove I'm wrong. I disagree with the way you run a community (mixing personal feelings with comm duties). What now?

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

I said 429. Not 430.

Anyone defending this behavior was likely involved in the original bitchfest.

Besides, you kids have MH > 18. What do you need my comm for?

[(Anonymous)]

you kids have MH > 18

wtf that's not the name of the community.

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

Not officially. But yeah, it really is. This little gang up is mostly people from a similarly-named comm.

[(Anonymous)]

[comment left blank so you can have the last word because lord knows if you don't get it you'll just keep wanking until you do]

[allicapri.livejournal.com]

Oh, well you certainly told me. All that "say it to my face" business was just for show. It doesn't get any more to your face than in public in a thread on fandomsecrets.

I never did anything to you. You're throwing me out because you think that I might have been involved in something else, and because I'm also in another community. That's perfect. True colors. Couldn't have been a better example if I'd tried.

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

Now, now, you know better than that. Challenging me here was not the right venue. If you genuinely had a problem and contacted me privately, this could have worked out fine. But you guys chose to gang up on me in public after ganging up on me in private. There's no saving that.

Go play in your own comm. I'm sure you'll have fun there.

[allicapri.livejournal.com]

So you could ban me quietly with no witnesses? Bitch please. I'm not new to the internet.

The more you tighten your grip, the more will slip through your fingers. I'll enjoy being able to relax and have fun for a change. May the 4th be with you.*

*Fuck all y'all, it's still the fourth somewhere.

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

I honestly wouldn't have banned you if you hadn't opened your mouth here. There are plenty of people I've worked out issues with in all my comms that are still members.

As for tightening my grip, honey, I've run comms for 7 years now. Nothing's slipped. I'm not your brand of mod. Cool. Go be with your own kind.

[allicapri.livejournal.com]

Lady, that's the crux of my issue. What I say here should have absolutely no bearing on my membership in your community, where I put not one toe out of line. You're not getting that that's a shitty way to run a community.

And there have been enough comments tonight about the Disney Fairies community becoming a wasteland because of you that I question the efficacy your tactics. When you run this one into the ground as well I'll be over here, laughing my ass off.

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

What you're not getting is that I don't care. Why should I suffer assholes if I don't have to? There's no award for Miss LJ Etiquette 2011 and even if there was, who'd want to win it? I want to enjoy my fandoms with as little fuckwittery as possible. If that means getting rid of people and being perceived as a bitch, then so be it. I don't mind. Not one little bit.

And in time, we'll see who's laughing. Communities that spawn from mine tend to fail. ;)

[allicapri.livejournal.com]

And when you've driven everybody away you can play in your own sad little corner of the sandbox, alone, with everything set just the way you want it.

It is perhaps deliciously ironic that you referred to go_monsterhigh as MH>18, because the original >18 was similarly born as a reaction to rampant bullshit, hypocrisy, and injustice and has flourished considerably, while the community from which it sprang has shriveled into a dried husk of its former self.

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly wouldn't have banned you if you hadn't opened your mouth here.
Why did you just make up that stipulation? If that was an issue, why didn't you mention that initially.

How about you not only tell us who all these "plenty of people" are, but send them over here and have them tell us themselves the problems that they had with you, and what you did to "work it out", and how they're pleased with the outcome?

[dreaming-faerie.livejournal.com]

Maybe those people have lives and jobs that are a lot more important than bowing down to anon's whims.

Idk, just a thought.

[lesbido.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Then you couldn't cover it up as easily. Because they posted it here, the banning is all out in the open.

[(Anonymous)]

wait, what the fuck? someone tells you in a very polite manner without calling you names that they disagree with your choice, and they are banned? yeahhh wow that whole "just say it to my face" thing is total bs. wowwww. you think you would've at least tried to pretend for a little while after claiming that!

[(Anonymous)]

lolol i love that the community number was apparently 429 before your senseless banning (not the shit talker, the person that you banned in this thread) and now it's dropped by over 200 lololol i guess that says it all

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

I don't think you're looking at the right community.

[(Anonymous)]

the fandom secret is about monster_high which is the community i am talking about. is there another community involved in all this?

[tanz-fanatika.livejournal.com]

Exactly. This is about monster_high, where membership is currently 433. That's not "over 200" less than 429.
