Today, I find myself randomly amused by someone posting on a particular forum I frequent who's going 'no, I see character X like this (goes on to state the complete opposite of how everyone else sees him) and I've seen the entire run of episodes and the movie so I win the internet!!!1!!!1!!', though with less frenzied punctuation.

I hope this person does not think that this will make everyone go 'oh, what a fool I've been to believe anything different!', with the wailing and the gnashing of teeth. Reminds me a bit of those people who pop up on slash lists/communities to tell everyone that slash is wrong and Teh Ev0l and apparently think they're heralding the way for a major paradigm shift from the list members, who will as one body turn their back on the bad and icky slash. Uh huh.

*snickers*

Ah but isn't it fun when they eventually throw a strop and take their ball home because no-one will play properly?

We had one who believed that not only did he know what the director and movie script writer intended but also what the original author meant - despite, as various list members pointed out politely, that the author was on record as saying he didn't mean that at all.

He disappeared because he was so rude to another list member I said all the things I had not been intending to say. [And read the post through twice before hitting send just to check the phrasing was as pointedly precise as I could manage.]
