People bitch about everything, don't they?

NaNo-wank. Well, pissyness about NaNo. As in, you're not allowed to call yourself a writer if you're doing NaNo. Bull-pockey, says I.

Bonus: link to an older 'essay' on why NaNo is destroying the noble profession of putting words on paper for shits and giggles.

And some wank on the boards of NaNo itself. But that's about the slowness of the boards due to modifications still going on.

I will never understand why so many people post diatribes in their journals that are clearly meant to offend and pick fights, and then get really whiny when people come and are magically angry and offended. And then they always complain about how so many people are taking it all too far, and it's their private journal anyway, so they can post whatever they want, and everyone else just has to deal with it, because it's their space.

Which is ludicrous. If you're posting something publicly that's intended to be offensive, you don't get to argue that it's your private space to express your thoughts and everyone else should just back off already.

The only reason I can see for people doing this (and it happens seriously all the time) is the sense of power they feel from getting people's hackles up and then deleting their comments and singing the 'My space, my space, na na nana nanaa!' song.

Meh. They can bite me, for all I care. I'm writing a > 50,000 word story, therefore, I am a writer.
