You know, there are some moments in this QAF fandom that just bite.
I enjoy the show. Don't get me wrong...
But the online fans - the attitude they sometimes project... It's wearing me down.
I sought out the position of Co-Moderator of one list. Trying to maintain the peace. Trying to be there when problems arise that drove quite a few members into silence. Well, I got what I asked for. And now, in the mist of my trying to be the peacemaker - to show as much consideration as I can to others - I've got people nitpicking every request I make.
And these are folks who wanted me (or anyone really) to step in, in the first place on that list.
So I get folks agreeing with me, then I get folks not agreeing. Complaining actually. In a polite way...
But after allllllll these dang years - I'm getting tired.
My hands are tired, that I know. They are burning. And still I'm going to have to recap - because I feel obligated to. And if I don't, I'll be two episodes behind which will make me feel worse.
This isn't coherent - and again, it'll pass. But why the heck am I up at 5 in the morning even worrying about this?
Sometimes being the Michael/Vince - blows.
