Ugh
I hate bullies. Internet bullies who believe they're propagating "social justice" while doing their bullying are a particularly revolting suspecies. God knows I have my own criticisms of Moffat's writings, but death threats? With an added low of also going after twelve-years Caitlin Blackwood, who plays young Amelia Pond? What she said.
Not that this is new. I'm reminded of the internet back in Children of Earth, Day 4 and after time, when it were RTD and James Moran, but then Rusty wasn't on Twitter. Or going back to the Buffy days, those charmers who wished miscarriage on Marti Noxon when she was pregnant because they hated seasons 6 and 7 of BTVS.
Fandom can be fantastic to be in, but every now and then it makes you recall that "fan" comes from "fanatic", and not in a good way.

Very much so. And I've certainly seen that happen time and again - and we'll continue to see it for some time to come, as more women run for higher political office. (I'm going to try to cheer myself up now - yay Elizabeth Warren! Much better.)
I pulled my leg over three weeks ago getting off my bicycle of all things - I didn't fall, but the bike did while I was trying to get off, and yanked my leg. My reg doctor thinks it's actually spine-related (inflamed disc or somesuch) so I'm off to get an MRI tonight. they've already done an xray on the hip and it's not a hip fracture thank god.
