Oh, yeah! LJ back then was vicious. I meant to add that actually, that I don't think things are AS bad.
Hell, I almost left LJ altogether at one point because I broke a taboo and got a lot of flack And now that I think about it, even just two years ago I got piled on due to a misunderstanding. However, it was a strictly political post, not fandom. (And to be fair, I can see why it rubbed people the wrong way, but they definitely overreacted.)
