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.

Hey xof. I’m sorry to hear about this. I know *all* about situations like these, trust me. It *blows*. Seriously. I, too, was a list-owner of a list, and then I went into lurkedom for a while and some of the members of the group suddenly contacted me, saying that the person I left in charge of the group was using her position to manipulate others. And when I tried to get the upset parties to make peace, it all blew up into my face and *I* was the bad guy suddenly, forced to leave my own group, when all I was trying to do was to understand all parties involved and get them to make up.

You are *so* right – being the Vince/Michael blows. Big time.

If you ever need someone to vent, I’ll gladly listen. Of course that would mean more typing, and I somehow doubt your tired hands will be able to take it. ^_~

Oh, and if you don’t mind, can I add you to my friend’s list?

{{{hugs}}}

Hopefully, you’re doing better now (since this post is like… Oh, two months old. Never mind, ignore me. Just hope you don’t mind if I add you to my friend’s list.)

Hugs,
Kat
