Can't win for losing...

[xof1013]

I'm just fed up and so damn tired.

Again, I'll get over it.

But it's fucked none the less....

I'm tired of the silliness and wasteful attitudes of people being vicious to others they barely know over a fictional pairing choice.

I'm tired of being mediator for tantrum throwers. I'm too much of a Michael/Vince for my own good.

On top of the above...

If it's not NA Qaf then it's UK Qaf... I posted a plea for participation and feedback from lurkers. Almost everyone who responded did so in such a way that I felt guilty for having brought it up in the first place.

My hands hurt from all the typing I've done in the last few days. Hell, the last week.

And I gonna feel bad about even posting this. Any of this....

Let's just forget I said anything...

i don't think You have anything to feel guilty about xof. i read the plea, just didn't respond but i think You made valid points. Every group i'm a member of has a handful of regulars that keep it going. that's just kind of the nature of the beast i think. But there's nothing wrong with wanting to nudge others into getting more involed. And that's all You did...nudge.

As far as being a mediator...well, we set ourselves up as such and can's seem to get out of it sometimes, but trust me, its easier if You can let go. easier said than done, i know from experience. They will argue anyway sweetie, no matter what. Just keep being the brilliant author, recapper, moderator and friend that You are. You don't have to be the gladiator too. and moderator means watching that the group doesn't wander too far off. just tell them to take their fights offline.

There are true fans who love both US and UK QAF no matter what the pairing, or what the 'ship. Look to those for some peace.
Your friend always, teri
