I did make this entry (http://community.livejournal.com/elijah_finds/96100.html) about a month ago, where I asked people to try to remain neutral. And you're right about the grey area... How could I possibly tell people exactly what is acceptable and what isn't? It's just not that simple. And, though I try to be as even-handed as possible, both "sides" always end up thinking that I'm picking on them more than I am the other guys. I can't win.
I'm really starting to think that the only real solution is to put a ban on any comments about Pamela. But there is no way I would ever actually do that except as a last resort.
sheesh you've already made a post about it and they're still carrying on? you must feel like you're banging your head against a wall! you're right about people claiming you're picking on them, i've seen comments like that and they were completely unfounded.
i really don't understand how people can't just behave maturely. i'm sure no matter who Elijah dates it will always be the same. they should focus on what this fandom is really about...drooling over elijah ;)
i'm sure if you put a ban on mentioning pamela than anyone who comes along and says 'here's a foto of elijah with pamela/gogol bordello/whatever' will get people crying 'you mentioned her name!' glad i'm not a mod! ;)
