I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

the majority of fandom is calling for a RT voodoo doll because of that interview.

i'm just...meh. he and i do not have the same opinions on pretty much everything, but i just can't seem to care.

maybe i should stop getting involved with fandoms for shows i really love. though i'm not entirely sure i can blame it on fandom. my enjoyment for the shows just seems to drop considerably after listening to so much negativity for so long.

Whereas I see his perspective on most things. Not everything, but I usually see where he's coming from. And I think there's so much bias at this point that nothing he says will make it better.

Sour with the sweet, unfortunately.

I would read that TWoP article, but the fact that it's split out across twenty pages annoys the living crap out of me.

Why does TWoP do that?! That is why I never read anything there.

Presumably, it's to increase ad revenue. It just proves to me the contempt they have for their readers.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That's pretty harsh, Tom. I don't think they have contempt, nor are they rolling in so much ad money that they could easily reduce their page hits.

Did I miss something big kerfuffle-wise in VM/RT land? What's the rumpus?

Perhaps. But IMHO, splitting an article into 20 pages is excessive and user-hostile.

Not a kerfuffle, just general fandom negativity about various aspects of the show. One of the major things, I guess, is that people think Veronica has gotten meaner and bitchier, and Rob doesn't agree, and neither side can see the other's perspective, so nothing's going to change.

Perhaps. But IMHO, splitting an article into 20 pages is excessive and user-hostile.

It's expected for their user base, though. IIRC, things have always had insane splits, even dating back to MBTV days.
