Quote:This is rapidly progressing past 'walk away quietly' to 'throw a shitfit'.Nah. It's not worth the effort. It's not like I have any status or followers there to influence, and I've already been tarred as a "troublemaker" for pointing out that the Emperor has taken off his clothes. The best I can hope to get away with is embedding something in comment markup on my bio page to explain my real reasons. If I get too obviously truthy right out front, it's pretty much guaranteed that someone in the TVTropes Political Orthodoxy office will just stalinize the text.
The best way we can respond to this is as was noted above -- tell other fora. Tell Fark, tell Slashdot, hell, tell Spacebattles and the Fan Fiction Forum. I'm still planning on writing to Boing Boing when my fever and headache drop to a dull roar. Protest inside TVTropes, and your objections will be deleted for the sin of not agreeing with Fast Eddie and his new Gestapo. But they have no power over other places on the Net, and there's no way they can hide what they're doing without reversing it entirely.
