Be glad you've not witnessed it. It's not pretty. To be fair, I haven't seen it much on lj, and the issue has faded...whether that's because LJ is more compartmentalized by nature or tempers have cooled over time, I'm not sure. Possibly the latter, because like I said, my flist spans the fandom spectrum (although, usually the saner members).
When I was first in fandom a few years ago, vestiges of hot tempers still overflowed and I went to scarier places--like the unmoderated comments on Joe Mallozzi's blog when he used to be on Gateworld (or GW's forums for that matter.)
Me too. I always figure that anyone who likes animals must be redeemable, in some way.
Exactly! By the way, you did know "Oscar" was actually RDA's dog, right?
I'm glad you brought up the Wiki, because I haven't really had a look and now think that I better do so!
Hee! Yes! Go forth and explore! I like the SG Teams by Episode and Planets by Episode especially (the latter of which is kind of my pet project. Someday I hope to finish more detailed articles on them all).
