if I've decided that someone is actually a flaming nutcase, is it appropriate to not reply to her?
I would say it's not just appropriate, but wise in the extreme.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
How likely is she to keep on leaving messages? If not very, ignoring her is a valid response. If she's liable to be pushy, you may have to politely disengage and wave her off.

Oh, I don't think I can politely disengage. I mean, she's a huge shit-stirrer, and I really just don't want anything to do with her. I'm going to ignore her--I suspect she's about to get FW'd if she hasn't already, and I'm far from the only person her pronouncements have pissed off.

Oh, man. SA, I -- I think it's brilliant, but you know, I just can't take McKay/Sheppard that seriously. It's all angsty and pining, and I just want to giggle.
It's gorgeously done, though. Brilliant and creative.

That was amazing but I couldn't get it to download and could only watch on imeem, which was rather frustrating.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
but if I've decided that someone is actually a flaming nutcase, is it appropriate to not reply to her?
Yes. Go read something instead.

Hee, I know. I know! I haven't read McShep in ages, like seriously months. It's the same reason I haven't been reading SPN fic either--I'm just not in angstorama mood. But NKF is really astonishingly talented, and I was reccing the vid more for its creativity and brilliance in new media than on the McSheppiness of it. Though I still heart John Sheppard like pie.
thefourthvine did some vid recs yesterday, or the day before, and one of them was "Enormous Penis," this LKBV for Farscape--omg I was braying with laughter. Hi-larious!

DNFTEC - Do Not Feed The Energy Creature is most of the time a good policy, after polite interaction has firmly disclosed the energy-creaturiousness.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Hey, I know that I'm all about engaging in public discourse, but if I've decided that someone is actually a flaming nutcase, is it appropriate to not reply to her?Yes.
Also? Hell, yes.
For reasons that Theo states well.
