Mr. "golden age" strikes again.
Can anyone remeber the last decent contribution the ELL made to this list
and it's comunity?
He just made one.
Whatever the feelings about the Lurker, I feel that he was absolutely
correct in his assessment of how the FFML has been progressing.
Admins that warn everyone about spamming the list on New Years then
turn around and spam the list *themselves,* resulting in more spammed
posts in the days since than actual fanfics.
This is not what I signed up for.
I haven't decided yet if I'm irritated enough by this to sign off the
FFML permanently. I've read a lot of excellent stuff here. It's a
great place to see what other people think about fanfics and such,
and to get information. But this whole PFML debacle smacks of
hypocrisy and double-standards. It's difficult to believe the people
who enforce the rules when they themselves don't follow those rules.
This list needs a swift kick in the pants, or else it'll degenerate
even more in the near future, in my opinion.
