People are wrong!!! (Bonus: the Thorn Family Tree (revised))

[inverarity]

I used to be incredibly argumentative. (I know, big shock, right?) I spent more time than I want to think about arguing on message boards, getting into flamewars with people who were just so unspeakably jaw-droppingly blood-boilingly unbearably fucking stupid that surely the entire universe would collapse into a singularity if I did not disabuse of them of their utter and complete wrongbadness.



I just skimmed a certain HP message board for the first time in months, and.... yeah, I'm glad I've outgrown that. (Okay, I'll still get into it sometimes with people, but for the most part, I've learned to walk away from poo-flinging chimps, or better yet, not engage at all.)

This, btw, is why I don't post a lot about my politics here. 'Cause I can easily go off on a tear about my godless heathen liberal politics, but then it becomes unfun when people who share a common love of fandom are suddenly ripping into each other over abortion or God or whether Obama wants to make you gay marry a Muslim anchor baby. (Yes, I totally ripped that last line off from John Scalzi, who I want to be when I grow up.)

So, now and then I feel like doing the "blogging" thing where I actually talk about, you know, real stuff, and then I think better of it, because that way lies self-immolation.

Anyway, here is a revised Thorn Family Tree (with some noteworthy additions) as a reward for suffering through the above rambling. Note that it is still subject to future revisions...

Agreed. I am guessing that your political doctrine is wishy-washy liberal. There are other websites where I can rant that Anarchism is better doctrine than Liberalism.

On this site, it is better that we squee about the good bit of AQ and HhD and whinge about the bad bits.

And one of the bad bits of AQ is that I cant read the family tree. It is all in teeny weeny typeface. When I click the magnifying glass Icon, then it is readable for 0.2 seconds and then reverts to teeny weeny.

Darla is Alex's cousin. All magical clans are cousins.

Politix of Real World are off topic. Politix of AQ world are on topic. So far we have seen Abraham kill hundreds of innocents. Abe is Evil.

Wishy-washy? Pffft!

Dude, how long have you been on the Internet? Do you not know how to right-click and "View Image"?

I use "Copy image location", open up a new window, plop in the url for the image, and then I can use zoom in on the bigger images.
