I am not sure how many of you are familiar with the group VCL_Horrors on LJ, but I'm going to assume that many of you are seeing as both lampoon furries. (For those of you who do not know what VCL_Horrors is, I'll explain. Horrors is a group that makes fun of furry artwork. That simple. The end.)

Anyway, Sian, a member of Horrors decided to make a Wiki for Horrors, because wikis are trendy. It soon became apparent that Horrors alone did not cover all of "TEH_DARKSIDE" of Furrydom, so we (Sian, a few other members, and myself) decided we were going branch off and make a generalized wiki on the stupid side of furry.

Things went smoothly, we suffered furry drama every now and then, but we expected that. But then, hilarity happened.

KKatman bombarded our inbox. One of the e-mails she sent us was basically a threat to take us to court. She claims that she is turning her name "KKatman" into the name of a business, and thus we can not talk about her as it might hurt her career. So, I went back and editted the only part that could be considered libelous. She has no case, we are entitled to our opinion. As far as I know, For example, Rolling Stone is able to reveiw albums of music artists without being sued

Anyway, I just thought this was kinda funny.

Just be careful, the courts seem to be getting dumber in recent years.

And don't serve her scaldingly hot coffee... while she's driving at least.

It's currently going under heavy revision at this time, but later, I shall. =)

(sigh) 3rd degree burns are nothing to laugh at. And there was no driving.

Thank you.

But thankfully the Stella case inspired http://stellaawards.com/stella.html which is always a sad read.

KKatman has some really insane/stupid web strips that she posts to VCL (and are on vcl_horrors as well) - I mean there's some that make absolutely no sense and serve to reinforce the feeling of She who will not be named type insanity. :3

Holding hot coffee between your legs is still really stupid. And I just bet the car was not in motion when she spilled the whole cup all over herself. But I'm an advocate of making everything more dangerous, so as to reintroduce population control via natural selection.

Wait, I thought that happened because Ch'Marr got upset because someone made fun of his bodypainting. And then got even more upset when someone tried to doccument it, on the wiki.

She was ~80 here, no need to go call unkie Darwin to stop her from having any more kids. As Leno put it, she should have been grateful to have something hot between her legs again at that age.

I used to think that just because someone was older, it meant that they knew better. That's not always the case. My own grandparents are in their 80s, and it seems that they are either forgetful, or not seeing the connection with potential danger anymore. A good example is the scary selection of expired salad dressings in their fridge :-P Even scarier is my grandpa's driving. He should probably stop :S

Yeah, in order to sue for libel some accusation you have made would have to be proven as false. For what it's worth....

Because everyone knows that popularity on the internet is a very important thing! How dare we tarnish his good, lazy, drama queen name! :roll:

But yeah, pretty much -- in many long, tiring letters and big words. But it was really for both reasons.

The Wiki is expanding into a facet of a new website, and hopefully it'll be released soon... we just need a template and finalize the system :\

Actually, the idea of it had been floating around, but the Ch'Marr incident solidified the decision.
