It's impossible that my fic is not funny, you just can't accept satire

ofyour

beloved Zen! I stopped reading rather than listen to someone tar my

witty

and fresh manuscript with Ukyou propaganda! Don't tell me not to do

stupid

things, make up some kind of new scene or something for me to put in

itsplace

because you aren't allowed to say anything I do is bad!

You know, sometimes it is better to burn out than fade away, Kleppe.

Excuse me, but where did you get this mail message from? As far as I can
see, it was supposedly sent to the FFML, but I didn't get it. Curiously,
though, I did receive a mail with the exact same header, down to the date
and time sent, containing a completly different message.

Also, it appears as though someone hacked into Gary's mail account, as the
speech patterns in the message are completely different to Gary's own. Did
you know you can tell a lot from someone just from the way they write? It
appears as though the "hacker", whoever he is, is childish and immature,
from how the message reads.

By the way, I was being sarcastic. It's obvious noone hacked Gary's mail
account. More likely, "someone" simply copied the header and then wrote

his

interpretation of Gary's reply, passing it off as Gary's actual response.
What "someone" could have hoped to accomplish with such a childish thing

is

beyond me. Negative publicity against Gary, perhaps? To what effect I do

not

know. "Someone" obviously didn't learn from the fic, however, as it

clearly

shows negative publicity can be hazardous to the agressor when it

backfires

so horribly. ^_^ .

Anyway, I won't keep talking about "someone" or his/her/its message. I
believe everyone was as embarrased by it as I was when I read it, and it
wouldn't be fair to keep it in the public's mind when it belongs in the
trash can. Instead, and to avoid being tempbanned by our fair and
magnanimous mods, I'm going to try to look at the positive aspects of it,
and write a little spamfic that came to my mind when I read it.

Don't get your knickers in a knot. I was quite obviously mocking him when I
changed the quote, this isn't exactly uncommon on the wild frontier we call
the Interweb. If anyone thought I was trying to decieve anyone into thinking
those were Gary's exact words, maybe they should invest in a sarcasm
detector. Or just some critical thinking skills, really.
