The Coalies Are Back In Town

[coalcube]

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Coaltide Bar'n'Grill
The receipts will flow and wank will spill
And if the coalies wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

It's related. There are a lot of gentlefailers and namespace exchange people who have been grudgy against the original ToT mod/the recipient due to their conversational style. Some nonnies (one really pissed off nonny with a lot of free time?) admitted several times they hated that when they asked if ship-matching could be added (or whatever they wanted to change) the mod gave them a one-word "No" instead of a long dithering paragraph about their reasons, and they did this frequently. Given a chance to wank about this person, the people who've been BEC for years about them jumped in with both feet. Had it been any other recipient, especially someone considered a Good Egg, there would have been far more sympathy for the misunderstanding. Instead it blew up because many of the nonnies involved don't like RC, and some were grudgewanking against Ashling for other past arguments like kimara did in namespace, and who knows who's been nursing grudges against some of the other players.

tl;dr The two wanks are the same wank because the MFD was >50% grudgewank from the start about the previous stance on ship-matching in ToT

I'd say 25%. There was plenty of wank for MFD before we even knew which story was involved

And there was plenty of ToT wank from people who just authentically really didn't want pairing matching

And they were hilarious.

I was one of them. I got bummed out by the whole thing and have the ToT thread blocked now.

Nah. The fact that RedCoyote was a mod of ToT and other exchanges definitely *did* contribute to the wank, but not in the way you're saying it did. It wasn't 75% grudgewank, it was because they were friends with the MFD mods that the situation spiraled out of control in the first place. The mods saw "Friend hurt!" and went fucking nuclear, whereas if it had been Random Participant #238, I doubt it would have even gotten to that point. Personally, I didn't have any clue who RC/VP was before the wank went down other than "oh yeah, they do exchanges, seem to be pinch hits a lot," and definitely didn't know they were PK1, and wanked long and hard on the side of the banned writer. ffa at least was *firmly* on the writer's side long before we were able to follow the breadcrumbs and realize the recip was RC.
