But this entire episode left a horrible taste in everybody's mouth because this isn't just a case of laughing at a ridiculous storyfinders post -- this is tricking people into participating, people who aren't in on the joke, and leveraging their goodwill (and, let's face it, your relative popularity in that fandom) for your own amusement.
Hunh, very interesting. I was wondering why this pissed me off so much as well, considering I usually have a fairly live and let live attitude in fandom (or at least try to).
