noracharlesI'm one of the editors of the White Collar Roundup - I collect the White Collar content posted to dreamwidth.
That's how I first came across the comm then called fanspastic. The name offended me, and I hated linking to content on a comm like that, but I want our newsletter to be inclusive, and I'll link to everything regardless of my personal feelings about its authors.
Now the comm has been renamed to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fangasmic, which is a huge improvement! Thank you ![[staff profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
mark for taking care of that before renaming is officially possible.
I went to look at the comm, thinking the mods might just be ignorant, and maybe it's not a horrible place after all. LOL, wrong.
Is using the word "spaz" in the mod post explaining the rename supposed to be ironic, and do the mods think that it is therefore funny?

I think she is against the name change, because she is being oppressed and silenced and marginalized and prevented from fully engaging in the fannish experience by Political Correctness. My heart goes out to her.
Hahaha :-D
Yeah, I don't feel deprived for missing out on that comm either.
