He's like the Energizer bunny on Twitter- keeps going and going and going

Wow, there are some angry little monkeys out there in cyberspace.

Thank god JP did not respond to any of this- not that I thought she would. But feel bad that the RC brigade is now coming for her on twitter. She seems level headed enough to laugh it off but still.

The thing is, Pepperman didn't say anything outrageous or aggressive. She was very candid in response to a question - they'd wanted to use John and Starr in some capacity and couldn't, ABC hindered them, and they had to change plans. That's all she said. She didn't say "we can't do a show without them," she didn't say "ABC/GH is the devil" or full of assholes, she didn't say anything but the plain facts. She didn't get into details or say PP was blameless.

And yet over on Twitter you've got a handful of frothing fangirls and a slew of vapid, aging gay men sharing maybe three personality types between them taking this as a declaration of all-out war on OLTL and calling the poor woman "Jon". It's like SON's recent "Let's Pretend We're All The Real Housewives" breakdown, only with a lot of meth and a massive helping of entitlement. This is why I'd like to eradicate soap Twitter from the face of the earth. It surely doesn't help the personnel or their mentality, and it only makes the fans crazier.

I will never twitter. But if I did, I'd send Ron this, some of his finest work (and I mean that - it was hilarious). I think the message and the advice is subtle yet implicit.

That is a perfect description of what Im seeing on Twitter. Even before this there seemed to be an insane amount of venom toward PP OLTL from the Ron followers- they keep calling it the "dudebrosoap" and saying it only appeals to straight frat boys (what???). I'm not saying it has no flaws but that description I don't understand at all. And I don't get it- if you can't stomach OLTL without Cartini, just watch GH and stop wasting your energy on OLTL. Unfortunately by Ron getting involved, the crazy ante has been upped times a million and some of the things that are being said about Jen are just vile. And he had to know this would happen because I get the sense he's monitors twitter pretty fanatically and I don't think he's a stupid man at all. I think I'm with you on wishing we could eradicate soap Twitter which is a shame because I think it can be a fun way to chat with the other fans and there are some really funny people tweeting about soaps. Unfortunately, the insane fans seem to vastly outnumber the ones who talk soaps with reason and humor. And with Ron as their fearless tactless leader, its really out of control.

Carlivati has move from obnoxious to just flat out boring. He doesn't even have that trainwreck factor anymore. Now he's just that old guy at the bar who drinks boilermakers and bitches about how the neighborhood was better "before the coloreds moved in and ruined everything." All you can do is shake your head, cringe and hope his wife comes to get him before he passes out in the corner.
