S-T Ranting

I realized that it’s sad how much I talk about work, haha. But for now, that’s all that’s terribly interesting.

But now there’s something I have to talk about before I make another campground related post. According to Ernie, someone is accusing me of taking news from them without giving them credit.

You know what? Fuck you. Why would I go out of my way to steal news when I can get it myself? No really, why? I don’t trust other people’s translations easily (no offence, but there are a lot of people in the fandom who translate with limited knowledge and using online translators. That’s not a criticism, but I try to make sure I do my best work on S-T). And just really, why would I do that?

People like knowing that they’ve contributed to something. We want S-T to go somewhere, and people like to feel included. Therefore, given the chance, we’re going to include them. Especially when it comes to crediting them. I mean really, I hate when people take stuff from me without giving me credit for it, so why would I do that to someone else?

Does that make sense? No. It doesn’t.

Anyways enough of that bullshit. If people want to be like that, then that’s fine. It’s just so frustrating because I bust my ass over on Shattered-Tranquility. I really do. You should see my poor computer and all it’s hooked-up-ness to mail magazines, OHP’s, feeds and so on and so forth. It’s like, you do all this work for what? People calling you a thief and a liar. Which is fine if you are, but I’m not. :/

I hope Ernie writes back. But maybe it’s best if he doesn’t. I hate drama.

    People are just fucking stupid…that’s all. And LOL at anyone who says S-T steals. Dude, how is that even possible when we post news that no one else does in English. And we’ve always credited if someone submits news to us so why would we not for certain people? Makes no sense! These people are stupid enough to post stuff right after we post it and right after they visit us…thanks for being so damn obvious.

    Anyways, back to my saying that these people are idiots 8D

    Seriously. Just, seriously.
    I mean I’m not saying anyone who posts news that’s the same from around the same time we do steals it, because I’m sure there are people who we’ve posted news around the same time as, and we sure didn’t steal from them.

    But Ernie filled me in, and said person posted news that we posted right after we did… when the news was old. It was from July. Now come on. It’s just too much a conicidence that someone would ‘notice’ on the OHP the exact same tme we did with it being so old, you know?

    And exactly! Why would we be like OKAY, WE’LL CREDIT XX PERSON, BUT NOT YY PERSON. Do people really think we’re that petty and lame? I mean, seriously!?

    Actually that person I’ve also noticed has been stealing. There was another piece of news I had posted that I know the info was up on their site a week or so before I actually posted it on S-T. I had just got around to posting it and right after I did, they posted it too. Go figure, LOL.

    People have the nerve to just go back around and claim that we’re the ones who are stealing. Haha, right how is that even possible when we had it posted before them…it’s impossible to steal someone’s news before they even posted it up xD

    But yes, I’m not saying that people who post news that we post are stealing, but if someone visits the site and the post of the news the moment before posting it elsewhere it is kind of evident where they actually found it. Posting a link to our site along with it isn’t that hard…sorry, you don’t get brownie points for being the first person to post news somewhere, that doesn’t really make you ’special’ so I don’t really know what they are trying to achieve here.

    Get Ernie to send you the messages that have been sent.

    I think they’re just trying to turn it on us, so they can weasel their way out of it. Too bad we haven’t actually stolen from them. Kind of makes me wish we had.

    This fandom is like that though. I mean, I always want S-T to be the first, but if it’s not then that’s okay because even if we’re not first, there are people who haven’t been filled in who will see it on our site. So it works out regardless in the end.

    Posting a link is SUPER easy. If you can copy and paste stuff from the site, you can copy and paste the nice little code I wrote and put in the sidebox there. I mean really.

    Haha, if they just fess up, and add the appropriate credit to their news when they post then this would all be over. But no, they have to make it worse.

    Which brings me back around to…people are stupid~ 8D

    Exactly! It’s not like we don’t know when they visit. O_O

    They are. And they all come camping.
    I bet this person will come camping soon too.
