Fanlib : comments [Welcome to my perfumed garden]

hey everyone,
I'm Chris one of the founders of FanLib> it's really late and i have been working on the site all day. I'm exhausted but i just realized what was going on here and all of the commentsts are making me sick. we're a small company with 10 emplyees who work 16 hours a day to try and make a great website. we're real people! with feelings and everything! we have been working on this and dreaming about it for a long time and you are just here to shit on it without giving us a chance. i care deeply about what you think but this is crazy. we're good people here and you make us sound like we're an evil corporation or the govt. sending your kids to war or something. we really are all about celebrating fan fiction and fan fiction readers and writers. im sorry this is so short and please excuse the fact that i am cutting and pasting this across a bunch of ljs but i gotta get some sleep.
chris

Well I'm sorry your feelings have been damaged, but then you are attempting to profit from our creative endeavours so you must expect emotions to run high.

I read your fAC, but it hasn't ansewered some of the most fundamental concerns. I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more from people in the next few days - maybe you could answer those very real concerns.

That's not what I'm reading about you and your company.

"we have been working on this and dreaming about it for a long time "
Since 2003, under a variety of company names, apparently.

"you are just here to shit on it without giving us a chance."
Hey fandom people have a way above average IQ (it's a fact, check it out) and we know something bad when we see it.

"we really are all about celebrating fan fiction and fan fiction readers and writers."
No, you are all about *profiting* from fan fiction and its readers and potentially damaging fandom in the process.

"please excuse the fact that i am cutting and pasting this across a bunch of ljs..."

Interestingly, I've just done a search and can't find a single other post from you on *any* of the most active, animated and informed discussions; this is the only one I've found.

darkrosetiger found a few more journals he spammed (http://darkrosetiger.livejournal.com/340766.html). Whoever this person is, they really don't know fan-ettiquette.
