And while this shouldn’t need be said, this doesn’t apply to everybody. Just the VERY VOCAL minority. On both sides.

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

This is entirely why this account has lain dormant. Because a vast majority of people on both sides have opted to forgo critical thinking for tribalism.

I love the WoT. And have for most of my life. But as is the case with 99% of things, fandom ruins it.

@FoxesSnakes This person ONLY reads fantasy and refuses to acknowledge that Brandon Sanderson exists as an author.

It’s bait. And not even good bait.

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

@LarsThunderbear You have not!

There is a more than good chance a lot of those who were involved in this kind of thing have blocked me or never followed in the first place.

All is well here. Water and Shade :)

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

I'm considering letting this account spin its way back into the Pattern.

Ever since right around the show dropped I haven't felt like posting here.

Watching the "fandom" get involved/perpetuate the drama has turned me off from wanting to interact with a lot of you.

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

Instead I have been asked to choose sides, ignore plights, make judgements on people I don't know, and all other kinds of fuckery.

I honestly thought it would be better here.

I appear to have been incorrect.

For what it's worth, I haven't made my final decision yet...

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

Especially after seeing how people reacted to the Facebook crowd.

Watching that nonsense come here and watching people who months earlier hated that kind of shit just eat it up?

No thanks. This was supposed to be fun and lighthearted.

A Wise Woman older than many living Aes Sedai has left this world today. But left it an infinitely better place than she found it.

I just realized that myself and Moiraine are Eskimo Buddies… NEAT!

And I happen to like all of my extremities where they are and NOT fed to the silverpike.

Call it a hunch.

I’m really beginning to understand why so many people decided to leave Twitter until they could take in the show and episodes themselves.

Being excited and passionate is great! Please be mindful of other who can’t watch it at the same pace as you. Please.

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

TWITTER OF TIME TAG YOUR SPOILERS!

No matter how innocuous you THINK it is if you’re talking about the episodes of the show you should tag your shit.

I’ve seen people I GREATLY enjoy following NOT doing this and I’m getting upset.

Tag. Your. Shit.

I’m so tired of saying it

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

I’ve waited decades for this show. If you spoil/ruin that we cannot be friends/mutuals/whatevers

Be kind and use proper spoiler tags for WoT.

Seriously, if you suddenly find yourself blocked by me it’s likely due to this happening. Just don’t do it.

It’s inconsiderate at best.

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

Still here Twitter of Time, but taking time off. Lots of spoilers flying around right now and avoiding those are easily my biggest task right now.

That is all.))

((Due to the stuff that I came across today and the people I've spoken with about it:

What is lost is not always gone.

I'm not saying that bridges WILL be mended just that in time it is possible they CAN be. That said, I'm not urging anybody to engage if they feel unsafe.))

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

4cont) As such, if you cannot get along with somebody it is by far the better choice to simply mute and block them. If there are Real Issues, like racism, bigotry, sexism, or other such things to call to attention let’s do that. But for something like this? We can be better.))

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

2) Your actions/inactions have driven people from this fandom and that is NOT okay. For the amount of lamenting about Facebook fans I thought you all were better than that.

3) These are huge red flags for potential members of the fandom and community.

[Gareth Bryne | (Hiatus) @JustALocalLord]

3cont) There is little to no reason for this knowledge to be had that isn’t bad reasoning or worse. There is virtually NO good faith reason to know personal details of RP/Character accounts.

4) We ALL love the WoT. It is a story of finding yourself and your family.
