   Want some whine to go with that ban?
The latest update in the Shatterheart situation:

http://www.christiananime.net/forums/showpost.php?postid=59374&postcount=66

LOL. . .if he was sincere, he could have edited his posts (at least, to remove the false allegation of my sending "bad" links via the PM system and the even worse allegations that I was promoting hentai and engaging in sexual immorality) or even done so and apologized for his slanderous posts.

Instead, he chose to blame me, misunderstanding, and those who saw him as a tantrum-throwing troll who's above his board's own law for the "problems." >.<

In reply to his accusation that I didn't PM him, blah, blah-I did a few months ago. He stonewalled me, refused to even consider my views-hence, I didn't PM him anymore. To quote one of my favorite anime quotes, "negotiation only works when both sides are fair."

*sarcasm* Narcissistic trolls are so wonderful. *sarcasm* To quote http://members.aol.com/intwg/trolls.htm, "Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility."

Also, this isn't a disagreement over shounen ai/yaoi per se-I have many friends online and all four of my offline friends who think shounen ai and yaoi are bad.

We manage to be friends because both I and they try to be fairminded-I don't beg them to read K/L or 1x2 or squeal over how cute Shuichi is (I haven't even told three of my offline friends-they still believe I'm anti-yaoi, which, technically I am, since I'm opposed to PWP in anything), and while they disagree with me, they aren't constantly on my case about it and don't publicly call my reputation into question. Our convictions differ-yet we manage to not only coexist but be friends. It's a nonissue. ^.^

Ask not for whom the troll trolls, he trolls for himself
OK, so in my newbie days as an Internet user, I wasn't exactly an angel. Hence, I have been banned as a troll.

Along the way, I saw how pointless that was, devoted myself to love others as best as I could, to learning nettiquette and respecting people. Hence, I overcame my past, and I'm even a moderator at a board called ChristianForums.com. In the course of my moderating duties, I've banned my share of trolls.

Today, however, I, for the first time, was banned BY a troll.

As you may know, I post regularly on a board called the Christian Anime Alliance or CAA as "MillyFan."

Last night, a member wanted advice on writing a fanfiction, and I decided to help him out a bit in this post. http://www.christiananime.net/forums/showpost.php?postid=58623&postcount=43 . Big mistake.

An admin whom I've had problems with in the past and who is a *sarcasm alert fine sarcasm alert* example of love and longsuffering saw my post and seized on one comment I made, "Some writers *can* write stories where the love story *is* the plot (and I know of one I'd recommend to show you a fine example of how to do it right if you were my age and more liberal, if it wouldn't get me banned for life to share the link through CAA, and if I had the nerve to link someone to it)".

"Shatterheart" then decided to do some trolling. He posted this post http://www.christiananime.net/forums/showpost.php?postid=58718&postcount=50 publicly accusing me, in the context of the other post, of sending links to lemons and other "bad" material to underage users via the board's PM system.

This allegation was totally false and slanderous, as I had NEVER sent any such messages to underage users, or through the CAA at all. I then posted a defense in this post. http://www.christiananime.net/forums/showpost.php?postid=58757&postcount=51

That, as you could imagine, did not go over very well.

Other mods on staff managed to reduce my sentence to a week's banning, but after I was banned, "Shatterheart" was not satisfied. He exploded in this post: http://www.christiananime.net/forums/showpost.php?postid=59057&postcount=65 totally ripping apart my reputation and character, making false accusations, and utterly acting like. . .a troll.

And yes, I can come back to the board in a week: if I make no more mentions of shounen ai. Got to love the hypocrisy there. ~.~

URL for Yoko Kanno Project site changed
If you can't get into it from the old address, don't worry: the site hasn't gone down-they just moved without a redirect.

Here is the current URL for The Yoko Kanno Project's discography: http://www.jameswong.com/ykproject/disc/music.php

If you visit the site, update your favorites accordingly and you should have no problems. -^.^-

By the way, bishounen.net/trigun's screenshot gallery "Up In Smoke" is back online. There's no new additions or updates, but I'm happy to see the site back. -^.^-

   Looking for *mild* Knives/Legato pic
For a banner and for my use here on myotaku.

No porn or major league smut, please: I want it to be PG at most. . .and if you can find one that's super deformed style and cute, that's a plus. :)

   Resigning As Judge From Trigun Alternative Pairings Contest
Lady Shadowcat and I have decided to enter our co-written fic, Dark Mirror.

Hence, I will no longer be a judge on the Trigun Alternative Pairings Contest. A fifth judge is needed to take my place, and all judges will need to continue checking here to keep up to date with contest entries since I am still hosting the contest (too much trouble to change the URL on promotions I've posted to someone else's)

   Trigun Alternative Pairings Contest Updates as of this date
Three confirmed entries:

NeptuneHelena, with "How To Speak Legato"

Bennu, with "Like A Criminal"

uncreative pseudonym, with "A Blessed Silence"

Lady Shadowcat and ShinyFairyLights are considering entries but have not officially entered a fic.

A fifth judge is needed.

Also, of course, we need more fics to choose from, LOL: so if you're wanting to enter, please enter. *begs for contest entries*

   New co-written fic: Dark Mirror
I'm co-writing a new drama/angst fic with my friend and fellow author Lady Shadowcat. Chapter one was posted today-the second chapter will be a little longer in coming, but hey, we hope you'll really like it.

By the way, thanks everyone for your reviews-that's a real encouragement. -^.^-
