Jerk of the MOnth
As you all must know by now, Hidden Hearts has gotten its first official flame on the guestbook. Not that I really care about flames, but the point is that the person not only offended the website, but also was mean towards Sesshoumaru/Kikyou fans in general. That is what I can not tolerate, and in their behalf, I decided to do something about it. So for now, enjoy the "Jerk of the Month"! Shall we get started? XD"YOU ******* PEOPLE HAVE ******* SICK MINDS TO PUT SESSHOMARU AND THAT GOD **** ******* SHE DEVIL ***** KIKYO TOGETHER" Okay, first: I think someone forgot to tell our friend Ki Tengoku that we normally turn Capslock off after the beginning of the sentence. Second, what is so sick about Sesshoumaru and Kikyou being together? It's not like I have paired Sesshoumaru and Naraku or some other guy, for example. Even if I had, nobody would have the right to call that sick, because that would be a clear display of prejudice towards homosexuals. Even I don't call male/male relationships sick, and notice I'm not too fond of Yaoi... I suppose the only type of pairing I could tolerate being called sick is Inuyasha/Sesshoumaru, not because they're both male, but because that would be incest. Kikyou, however, is in no way blood-related to Sesshoumaru, I don't see why you can say supporters of that pairing are sick-minded, unless you actually take your time to explain your reasons for doing so, which of course, our little flamer didn't. Ah well.
"THERE'S NO ******* GOOD REASON FOR YOUR ******* STUPIDNESS." Oh, look who is talking about reasons... If I do remember properly, I -did- post my reasons for supporting this pairing and also for coming up with this website. And if memory does not fail me, Tengoku was the one who gave no reasons for his uncalled for and unmeasured outburst of disgust. It's easy to ask someone to do something, but it's indeed funny how it suddenly becomes hard when you are requested to do the same. *shrugs* One more thing: I think the word he was looking for was "stupidity"; "stupidness" doesn't even exist on the dictionary. Also, I strongly believe that, in comparison to people who, despite major warnings, see websites that talk about something they highly disagree with, who can't even spell their favorite character's name right and who use made up words, we do not sound all that stupid. Not that stupid at all, in fact. But of course, I should know that there are lots of childish and immature people out there who just don't seem to understand that, so I guess I should've expected something like this coming.
"SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST ******* SHUT THE GOD **** SITE DOWN CUZ IT'S SO ******* DUMB." Heh. I shouldn't even be answering that pathetic question, but since I have gone this far, I might as well finish what I started. First off, I built this site so that the Sesshoumaru/Kikyou community, as small as it might be, had a place where they could go and feel like they're not the only ones who agree with that idea, meaning that, as long as there's at least ONE Sesshoumaru/Kikyou supporter alive, this site shall remain. Second, I wouldn't shut it down just because you're telling me to, Tengoku. I must say that I don't get easily intimidated, let alone by a sad attempt of a flame such as yours. And just in case you haven't notice, I find flames pretty amusing, because I get the chance to flame back, so if you were trying to get me scared or angry, I can assure that you have failed.^^ And third... I won't shut my site down because I don't want to. Simple like that, huh?
Whoa...the flame is over already? Curious...It looked much bigger when I first saw it... I guess it was because only half of the post was the flame itself. The other half consisted merely of swear words, which I was forced to edit. Constructive criticism is always most welcome, as long as we keep our tones down and do not attack others without having reasons for doing so. Disagreement is also understandable, for people are entitled to have their own opinions about different subjects, as long as they respect others'. Offensive language shall not be tolerated, however; it's not polite, and just not a nice thing to do.
Anyway, I think I have given my two cents already, so... *gets off serious mode* Kyaaaah!! I really can't stand being serious for too long, can I?^^; Hey, at least I managed to stay that way long enough to comment on the entire flame, people! o__O Anyhoo, I hope you have enjoyed my little *cough*huge*cough* ranting and if there's any comment that you'd like to add, please let me know, alright? Also, if you feel like talking personally to Tengoku, he left his e-mail on his guestbook entry... so go bug him, go, go!^^

Actually, as Sesshoumaru and Kikyou have many similarities and only few differences, there is nothing truly 'sick' about it, in that sense. It, unlike so many of the other pairings I deem inappropriate (i.e. *Sesshoumaru/Rin*...Which, mind you, is my opinion and I am in no way shape or form insulting those who enjoy such a pairing; I can tolerate it maturely enough, but it doesn't mean I have to agree with it, unlike all the flamers of the world out there...You don't see me flaming YOUR stuff, huh? Just because I don't like it? Thought so...). Second of all, dude, swear words do -not- make you cool. And frankly, as for the stupid comment? For those of you who go around inventing words and spelling their so-called favorite character's names wrong, even if it was just a typo...Pssht, talk about hypocrites! What's wrong with people these days? Actually, quite a lot of people would care to disagree with you; Sesshoumaru/Kikyou is not just some hole-in-the-wall pairing.. And if I were the webmisstress, I wouldn't shut down the site even if I wanted to, only because you asked.

Your site is quite sickening. Don't insult the great, hot, Lord Sesshoumaru. He definetly does not deserve to be with a b**** like Kikyo. She would probably try to drag him into hell with her, after all, she is DEAD. You must have one sick mind to think of an idea as sick as this one. Kikyo can burn in hell ALONE. And by the way, people keep caps lock on when showing that they're shouting, but I don't expect someone as pathetic as you to figure that out.
And your attempt of a flame amuses me. Honestly.
I don't see why Kikyou is such a 'bitch', as you claim she is. If you can name even -one- single reason that's good enough to make her a bitch and that I or anyone else with just a little bit of common sense can't easily shoot down, then I'll take my leave. However, since that hasn't happened, and most likely will never happen considering the level of intelligence (or lack of it) most flamers seem to have been blessed with, I and all other fans of this pairing shall remain up and strong.
Secondly, I've seen Sesshoumaru being paired up with the entire Inuyasha cast, and while there are one or two pairing possibilities that seem somewhat reasonable (i.e Sesshoumaru and a grown up Rin), others are just plain wrong (Sess/Kag, Sess/San), and one is particurlarly sickening (Sesshoumaru/Inuyasha). That has never posed as an obstacle to the fandom, has it? Nope. So even if Sess/Kiky -was- sickening (which it isn't), it would certainly not stop me or anyone else from loving the couple.
Finally, as for the capslock comment...D'uh, of course I knew that. It's just that screaming and shouting is something so childish and stupid, especially when there are many other, much more effective ways to prove a point than losing your temper, that I was giving that previous flamer a chance to look less pathetic when I said, and I quote " I think someone forgot to tell our friend Ki Tengoku that we normally turn Capslock off after the beginning of the sentence."
Yes, that's what normal people do; idiotic flamers don't. But of course, I don't expect dim-witted people as yourself to catch such hidden implications in my sentences. That would require a brain, after all. By all means, you bought yourself a place in this website you despise so much, so be happy. ^_^~
