The other night I found myself doing something that I hadn't done in months. I visited http://www.twilightsucks.com/.
I hadn't been there at all since the start of this blog (kind of the point of this place, so I can vent here and not there) and I was sure I was setting myself up for some heated discussions (if only in my head) and having my "bitch" side come out. But actually the opposite happened. I found a new respect for the members of that website. Of course I still will never understand them or get why they spend so much of their time hating, and I still won't forget they can be hurtful and judgmental as well. But there is a world of difference between them and the losers who post ridiculous comments on mylifeistwilight.com, atleast for the most part.
Why? Well, for one thing, the people on TS, or atleast the main guys who fought back with me, had a good degree of intelligence. They had logic to back up their opinions (doesn't mean I agree with the logic) and they spoke in clear, concise sentences. For another, they do it on their OWN website. As much as I hate the fact that it exists, I have to be respectful that they created a place to vent and bash away from any fansite.
On mylifeisaverage.com I have posted a few comments, some on the intelligent, high road side, and some on the I just want to be a bitch to you because you pissed me off side. First of all I have gotten very few responses, which tells me they really don't have anything good to say back, and secondly when they do answer back it's pretty much a laughable response. These people obviously haven't had many people stand up to them before and aren't really that great at standing their ground, which makes sense because they really don't have a legitimate ground to begin with.
So compared with the haters on mylifeistwilight.com the TS people look like saints....ok, not really saints, but ya get my drift right? The MLIT commenters stoop to a whole new low by invading a faniste, it's immature and rude and not to mention you can say the same thing about the actual comments they post.
So, ya I just wanted to share my new found respect (however tiny it may be) for my most hated site on the web with you guys. I hope you see where I am coming from because I am by no means a supporter of twilightsuck.com. I also want to see more of you guys out there on mylifeistwilight.com. We need to build up the fan base again with actual Twilight fans! And I totally think we are on the way to doing it!
If you guys have something to add, don't be shy, let me know in the comments. Or better yet we can take this to the fourm HERE.
I'm out for now,
