Sick, sad world

I just got a weird flame (?) on one of my journal entries; the comment was captioned "this is gay."

Oddly, the entry was a review of one book on prescription drugs and another on segregation in Alabama.

You gotta think -- couldn't my troll have found an entry that was actually gay? It couldn't possibly be difficult in this journal.

Aww, how disappointing! Flamers can be so much fun, it's such a drag when they're stupid. My best-ever flamer used more metaphors than the average Mary-Suefic and a healthy dose of poetry. I sent copies to all my friends!

By the way, would you mind if I linked to your law journal note on fanfic in my latest kerfluffle with the Lee Goldberg anti-fanfiction crowd?

I think I'm doing fairly well as Defender of the Minority on that blog, but they seem convinced that I'm making all the evidence up. I thought hearing from a few scholars might persuade them to quit name-calling already.

Sure, if you'd like. The problem is, it's easy to get tired of having that battle and retreat to a kinder, gentler place, but if you're in there swinging, by all means go ahead. I have memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=rivkat&keyword=Fan+fiction+and+the+law&filter=all) with a short legal bibliography, though of course that's far from all there is *academic* about the topic.
