Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

ISTR tales of people shoving their hands down...was it Roy Dupuis's pants?

Actually, I was at the Posting Board party where this happened to Boreanaz, though I only found out about it years later (as explanation for why that was his last Posting Board party).

Oh, ok. I thought it was a reference to a particular fandom. I couldn't remember what show that actor's name referred to.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

The people who made Amber Benson cry at con are the worst I've personally heard of (though the James Marsters quid pro quo stripper woman comes close)

Can those of us who came in late hear the stories?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I've heard the stripping woman story. I never heard anything about people making AB cry. That's just terrible.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Which group of whackaloons was that again? Was it the ones who blamed her for her character dying?

If it wasn't actual Kitten-board people, they were certainly Kitten-like in their "goals".

It's been so long I don't recall for sure, but I have a vague sense of it being after she turned down Joss' offer to return for Season 7. Maybe someone who felt betrayed by her not reprising the Tara role and making all right with the world again? Then again, my memory of this is so sketchy I could be wrong about any of the particulars.

Sadly, YouFirst!Woman is burned into my recollection much more distinctly.

After consideration I have to give the gold medal to that person who made the Bronze post about Alyson Hannigan dying in a car crash back in '98. By sheer coincidence it happened to occur when Alyson was out of pocket, and Joss and others went through a very scary patch scrambling to contact her before they could reassure everyone that it was a lie.

Didn't someone posting at the Bronze go through a long, debilitating "illness" and then came on as a sock-puppet friend telling people that said poster had died? Is that too deliberate to be considered craxy?

I think there's been more than one incident of that sort of thing, at the Bronze and elsewhere. But I don't see it as fannish craziness so much as general anonymity-on-the-internets craziness.
