Ellanna I have escaped from White_Light_Coven e-list, otherwise known as the Light_Weight_Coven. Don't join it. Gods save you if you even think about it. It's amazing, really, I never thought I could find a group of white-fluffy-bunny *vampires*. They must indeed be the extreme minority. At first it was cool, because it started off with a discussion of various types of blood that a vampire could drink... which naturally developed into a clinical argument over whether or not menstrual blood contained Prana. %-P This developed into a very unpleasant atmosphere when a WLC member named "Noodles" started talking about what happened to said fluid on what day of the cycle, and the resident supreme authority, Jack, decided to pick apart a semantics issue and insulted her in the process. When she pointed this out, he told her that she was an idiot and that if she was offended by being tactlessly corrected, then too bad for her. It kinda went downhill from there. After thinking about it, I realized that there are certain archetypes that show up again and again, ruining the atmosphere of perfectly good e-lists. They are as follows: 1. the guy who writes really long paragraphs with absolutely no punctuation or differentiation between upper and lower cases salted with a heavy dose of misspellings and emotionally changed words that sound like a bunch of gibberish and you really have to read it four or five times before it makes any sense in fact even his nickname or email address is something strung together or nonsensical like oUtSTaNdInGlOl or in this case moonunitglowingorbgnomyperson@yahoo.com. 2. The Supreme Authority. This is a person who uses a period after every sentence. He has read every book in existence, (not that he would tell you if he missed one) and is smarter than you. Yes, you. He's not actually the moderator. He and the moderator have a relationship that can only be compared to that between Captain Picard and Q. Inevitably, he will leave because he is disgusted that the moderator is less informed than he is, and that people get annoyed when he tells them how stupid they are. The nerve. My theory is that these are most frequently men who couldn't get a date in a whore-house if they were carrying a fist full of fifties. Serious control issues.... 3. HELP ME!!! This person seems to have joined the group because he or she is in desperate need of immediate attention or information. Once their initial question has been answered, they drop out of site, but don't unsub.. 4. The Joker. No one knows whether to take her seriously or not. Does she actually believe that picturing a half naked man in really tight under shorts is appropriate for a centering meditation? Her flip side is The Lunatic. This is the one who insists that carrot juice is a perfectly good substitute for blood in your average spell (and at any given moment, she can site three that require blood), and that an orgasm is the best way to close *any* ritual. Who knows, she might be onto something, but then again, she may just be trying to mess with your mind. 5. The Sage. She actually knows something, so everyone ignores her, and The Supreme Authority lurks in silence until she makes a spelling error, and then rips into her. 6. The Bitch. She serves no purpose other than to say mean things at random intervals, and occasionally starts a flame fight, only to calm down the moderators enough, and just in time, so that she does not get kicked out. She usually has a handle that sounds like healwlove or nlightnd1. How she manages to toe the line in such a way that you don't feel justified in punching her, you'll never know. 7. The Groupie. This person is plural. These are the ones who buy The Supreme Authority's line of bull crap, make conversation with moonunitglowingorbgnomyperson, and get offended all the damned time. If he or she says something of interest, it is completely by accident, and everything The Sage says goes directly over his or her head. My apologies and condolences to anyone from
WLC reading this. Peace to you, no hard feelings, and may you not develop
a horrible type of cancer that prevents you from pronouncing the "T" in
"Sa*ire". Gods bless.
