You think people would realize that if you say "this the stupidest thing i've ever done" and "this will probably piss people off" then it is and it will.
And people will come and tell you, at lenght, exactly how stupid you are and how pissed off they are.
Then they will tell there friends.
Who will tell theirs. And then links will be posted so everyone can see what a dumbass you are.
It's like a cautionary fandom tale. I wonder if it'll pass into the nomenclature.
What happened to Userboi18?
Oh, he did something stupid last week, and his flist CousinJeaned him.
I think this is a really grey area, and you could see it as no worse than the woman who put up a paypal donation box so people could give her money to replace her stolen laptop, or whatever.
Yeah, you know, I was just thinking about what the difference between those two events was (on my lunchtime walk, which was Hella Hot but did end in me getting a $0.25 copy of Snow Crash at the library, so go me). Because Cassie Claire did not get the same kind of overwhelming rejection, even though there was a subtext of "get her a computer so she can write more."
She didn't actually make the appeal personally, though, did she?

I made fun of her here, I'm pretty sure. I do my part.
I do my part.
Evidently not enough. What's your paypal address so we can subsidize you during these efforts?
Cassie Claire didn't make the quid pro quo explicit, did she?
It doesn't count if I don't directly solicit donations, right? I mean, I can't help it if people are overcome by my brilliance and fling cash at me.
Has this been a life problem for you to date? Cause, damn, I picked the wrong fandom if so.

That used to happen to me on a regular basis back when I was a stripper.
If by "brilliance" you mean booty.

Oh, yeah, she took some crap for it. But she was also supported by a lot of people, whereas pretty much no one is supporting cousinjean.

I totally want to have this problem.
