A letter, which most of you can probably disregard.
First, a disclaimer: These are the words and wisdom of only this mule, and this mule is NOT the community mod or anything. However, free speech and all, so here's my two cents. Don't spend it all in one place, mmkay? ;)
Dear community spy-
You have no control over this community, just as we have no control over your forums. This community and those forums are separate sites, run by separate people and maintained for separate though superficially similar reasons, and as such they should be treated as separate entities. If you wish to police what goes on in this community, then to be fair you must allow us to do likewise on your forums. Since I highly doubt you will be asking us what your people can and cannot post about us (and "us" is defined as "people who are displeased with LKH's writing for one reason or another") then please, do NOT tell people in this community what they may or may not post about you.
Furthermore, the post(s) which you seem to be offended by are not specifically insulting or derogatory...they are, in fact, NO MORE NOR LESS than a report of TRUTH. If you don't want people knowing what you are doing or saying, then maybe you shouldn't...yanno...DO OR SAY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Also, as DWG pointed out, LKH herself said that if her fans (and yes, that is what we are, FANS, so get over it. We are not "haters," we are not "trolls," we are people who have bought and read the books and in doing so brought LKH to the status she now holds, and our oppinions AS FANS (or indeed as people in general) are as valid as anyone else's!) want to vent or rant or express displeasure about the books, to do so somewhere else. Well, Spyperson, this IS the somewhere else.
Lastly, we are breaking no rules, on your forums or otherwise. There is no rule, here or there, stating that one cannot share what is said to him or her. If someone chooses to repost something someone else sent to them, or said to them, or said in ANY public or semi-public forum, that is their right. It makes you and the forum moderator or moderators who are trying to police what is and is not posted on this UNRELATED COMMUNITY look like a bunch of crazy internet stalker people. You have really tarnished whatever remained of your positive reputation by being so childish.
No love,
K. Lawrence

Just a heads up
Since you just created your journal today, have no other friends except for this community and you've only ever posted here. You haven't even bothered to post in your own journal.
You seem awfully suspicious to me.
Re: Just a heads up
I saw a place with likeminded people. Honestly, I don't much care how suspicious I seem, and this username is in use on quite a few other sites. I'm not a spy and I was recently shown this forum by Winterfox who I'm certain'll vouch for me.
Re: Just a heads up
I was just stating the facts as they plainly appear on your journal. You have to admit, all the things I've said are true.
Honestly, I could careless, I was just making you aware of how you appear, that is all.
Re: Just a heads up
However, I don't really have a current interest to start my own LJ-blame college...I joined mainly to join other likeminded communities, such as this one-which, as I said, Winterfox sent me the link.
Re: Just a heads up
If this takes the number of "suspect" spies from three to two, then all the better.
I will apologize for coming off a little bitchy, I'm in a bad mood and I let it tint the tone of my comment. I am sorry that it bled over on to you.

I have never read the Eragon books, so I can't comment on the sanity of it's fans.

Everyone who is BAD and UGLY won't like the hero
All those lovely and GOOD will like him...and if they don't, they're fooling themselves.
Vegetarian elves will wear leather.
The author's views on religion and eating meat WILL be thrown in your face, I warn you.
Elves are described as having 'hairless groins'
Butcher shops are spotless
Women can go jogging a day after giving birth
and, one of my absolute favorites: a man so poor he has to send his nephew foraging for food can afford to have chicken for breakfast...and give his son and nephew money to go buy.

...Maybe I shouldn't.
And I heard the guy who wrote it was some kid genius. Graduated from high school at age 16 and wrote the book at age 19. (Note: I was a bit envious of him, but now I'm not.) And I heard a lot of good things about it too.
*amused look* Thanks for sparing me from having to read it.
I won't pick up the others now. Heard it was a trilogy.
Re: Just a heads up
No clue why I'd have the same IP address as anyone else though
Re: Just a heads up
IP's are useless >.

"I am not nor have I ever been..."
Re: "I am not nor have I ever been..."
I just made them aware of what other people on the forum were thinking about that (while adding my own logical assumption that they might be right, based on the evidence that I had). I thought it was only fair to actually tell them about it.
But I am glad, that I could make you feel superior and give you an opportunity to make a witty comment.
Re: "I am not nor have I ever been..."
I was making with the funny. :)
