I know fandom isn't the most mentally or emotionally stable group at times. (Seriously people, you know that I'm right.) Recently though it's seemed to have gone to a whole new level of batshit.

There's one fandom with folks in angry denial about a temporary character that they've just met and who by all accounts won't be around for long. Then there's the other fandom list that has completely gone middle school with talk of cliques and hate mail and whining about pairings and people talking about the show instead of posting fics. WTF people???

Everyone needs to take about 10 deep breaths, step back and realize that this is a form of entertainment.

I tend to believe it's a hiatus, bringing out the crazy in people.

(well, okay. some fandoms have always had the crazy.)

Now I'm terribly curious, though, because I'm so out-of-the-loop on most of NCIS fandom. I can't even see the loop from here! *g*

The crackhead list has always had a special brand of crazy, but yeah I think the hiatus tends to heighten it a bit.

There have been about 4 or 5 days of posts on the list about cliques and people leaving and what should or shouldn't be posted, blah, blah, blah.

The part that really got me was the person complaining about the round robin going on because it's not all Tony/Gibbs and they might have to read other 'squicky' pairings like Tim/Tony. *cough*

Oh, cliques! Accusations of cliquery are, like, the migraine aura of Godwin's Law about to be demonstrated.

Well, really. Who the hell would want to read that? *carefully picks icon*
