Venting...

[xof1013]

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.

Don't let them get you too down. Just imagine if you were say, Randy Harrison and you're opinion of a character that you portray for say, 4 years is COMPLETELY different from what the majority of your fanbase WANTS you to have.

At least you don't have that backlash to deal with on a daily basis.
