There Are Seven Levels

Like most John Lennon fans, I have always known about his history of physical and emotional abuse, and have never denied or tried to minimise it. I just didn’t particularly want to talk about it on my blog, nor spend energy trying to convince others of it. If other people want to take on that challenge, then they’re more than welcome to, and I have absolutely no issue with thehuxler’s reblog of that post. They blocked me, not the other way round.

I’ve only ever accused one person of plagiarism, and that was after two years of staying silent and watching them deny it when challenged by others. And I don’t use the term plagiarism lightly, but this wasn’t just someone taking other people’s ideas, this was someone copying and pasting an entire fic from another fandom and changing the names, which they have since admitted to. If other people think that my highlighting this is less acceptable than the plagiarism itself, then I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree, but I won’t apologise for trying to protect writers. But they’re still writing and obviously trying to move on, which is why I deleted my posts about them. I think everyone deserves a second chance.

I once laughed at someone because I thought they didn’t know what a mansion was. That was wrong and petty of me, and I apologised soon after. They clearly haven’t accepted that apology, and that’s their right to do so.

I mentioned in the kink meme server that I was taking a break from the fandom, but I didn’t say why - if people have drawn their own conclusions, then that’s on them. But as far as I’m aware, thehuxler has never been mentioned in that server, and I’ve never seen any hate towards them there. If someone says otherwise, then they’re lying.

I haven’t asked anyone to post anything or send any anons on my behalf, and if people have done so then I appreciate the support, but please stop. And I will never support anyone sending personal insults.

I never expected everyone to like me, or my blog, or my shitty gifs or shittier fics. All I hoped for was that the people who didn’t like me would just ignore me. I’ve made mistakes, I’m terrible at putting my thoughts into words, I get too easily annoyed when I see things that I think damage the fandom. If you think that justifies some of the comments that have been made about me in the last few months, then this is clearly not the place for me.

Thank you to all the wonderful people I’ve met over the past 3 years, and I’ll still be around to talk privately to those of you that know me.

Assume this is about my anon from the other day? But yeah, that was my point - I didn’t agree with what anon was saying (John’s physical violence to women is pretty well documented, not to mention the psychological/emotional abuse he put Cyn and May through) although I admit I haven’t seen any of the posts they were referring to. But I don’t see the point of them complaining about other people’s blogs either.

Ultimately we’re all here for our own reasons. For some people it’s a place to debate serious issues, for others it’s a fun escape from real life. I don’t have a problem with either approach, but to stand on one side and throw tomatoes at the other seems a bit pointless.

Sorry about the rant, i'm new to the community and it's annoying
