Sweet November

Last week I found myself gripped by a strange urge to rent a movie, something I’ve not done in years, though I had a bit of a DVD-fest after my friend kindly installed a DVD player in my computer in Spring 2003 (not solely because I wanted to see the Lucius missing scene on the CoS DVD, no, not at all… ;)

Said urge swiftly became more specific as I decided I finally wanted to make an effort to see Sweet November - all the talk of Jason Isaacs in a green sequined frock having had my curiosity aroused for some time. Video rental shop proved unable to meet my request, so I decided to buy the damn thing.

( And this is what I thought of it... )

Of fights, flames and fandom

‘So,’ I thought to myself, ‘I’ll just have a quick look at my friends page before I go to bed.’

Bad move.

I’m not going to rehash the arguments that have flared this weekend. I was hoping that a rational discussion could be had about the issue – which to me is about the consistency of the standards of behaviour the community expects from its members, not about points of law or the rights and wrongs of an argument between any members of the community.

I am sorry that the discussion not only degenerated, but that it flared out to hurt people not originally involved.

And I hope that those in charge at FAP can decide on a clear standard to apply to everyone in future, so that the situation need not arise again.

And if you haven’t a clue what I’m on about, ignorance is probably bliss.
