Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I admit I weakened and posted a polite correction in the Vampire-People-hater's post about 'plagiarism' because, seriously, that's not a term you should throw about spuriously or stupidly (in his case). Feh.

Thanks. He started REALLY reaching, and then challenged me on the dates in which I moved to LA, ita moved with me, and when ita's job complaints in Michigan started to resonate with me.

So I backed away from the crazyperson. Seriously.

The only thing I ever feel the need to address is charges that I'm lying, or that I've stolen other people's work.

I mean, sure, I'd like to wank the rest. Buffy the Vampire Slayer never won an Emmy. People who worked on the show have won Emmys for work done. But the show itself never got one. I think this is just semantics, but really, he's rooting around for reasons to take me down, and I'm unsure why, exactly.

I'll send a free book to anyone who makes me an awesome 150x150 ad for Whedonesque, BTW. I've been too exhausted to make one, and I really need to get one to Caroline tonight.

Art Crawl!!!

What? He thinks he knows better than you do the dates that things happened in your own life?

Oookay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Damn. How would he even know these dates? And why would he care?

Backing away from the crazy person is good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Does the guy even realize that it's a humor book?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Yay, Kat! Will you actually be working on campus at UCLA? If so, we could meet up sometime when I'm there for class...

Remember that poor woman who was stoned that Joss wrote up a (brilliant) essay about? Apparently other Iraqis don't like their ways either [link] I heard about it on NPR this morning - they said Iraqis were outraged by the stoning.

Huh. That's a deep divot.

Ann, that's a ferret.

paperdol, you've done what you can. It's time to back away from the craxy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

paperdol, that guy is a mildly foolish ass and unworthy of your energy.

The person I really want to smite is the commenter who said something along the lines of, "Gee, I bet this is all so much more fun than the actual book (not that I've actually read it or seen it or exerted myself to have an actual informed opinion on it in any way), and I sure hope you keep posting your 'favorite bits' from it so we can all point and laugh!" Not only said that, but said it right the hell underneath a post indicating that the author in question was reading the damn thread. Way to announce to the entire universe just what a no-class, mean-spirited little cockbite you are, you little no-class cockbite.

Though I can't shake the suspicion that, in sneering at this person in a forum they don't read and calling them a cockbite, I am myself kind of a cockbite.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

JZ--you are a delight and a dollface, and therefore NOT a cockbite.

I find it odd that he seems to be spending so much time thinking/writing about paperdol's book when he says he hates it. Dude, if it doesn't entertain you, walk away. Trying to plot the timeline of paperdol's life from those essays is, at best, weird (at worst, creepy).
