I wouldn't say "rude and annoying", I found it *a bit* rude, yeah, and I was *a bit* annoyed, but that's hardly an unusual thing for me in fandom. Loads of stuff annoys but I forget about it the next day. I wrote a post here because of a combo of the same annoyances happening at once. And the upset I've caused you seems rather a lot greater than the annoyance I felt, and I'm sorry about that.

I don't think you need to give me an apology. I just wanted to respond to what you said but clearly I made an error in conflating things that perhaps shouldn't have been conflated in this post. And it's all come across more aggressively than what I intended? I intended to express my POV and, yeah, in a kind of snarky way, but it wasn't meant to be something that made you feel got at or attacked (cause it's not like there haven't been a couple of people who've said pretty much the same as you). Or like you were rubbish at fandom. It was meant to be me saying I am not at one with with this particular fannish viewpoint PS I am really wound up about the way someone expressed this viewpoint.

You complained about something. I complained back. If that's enough to make you think you're terrible at fandom, I don't know what to say about that really. You're not terrible at fandom. You maybe didn't expect a casual comment at the end of a post to get a post responding to it and it all felt a bit arg cause you've been intermittent for a bit? I should wait until I've calmed down before making posts? I've become too used to the blogosphere way of things? I don't know. I do think it's all got a bit silly.
