I think maybe I've just been insulted

My TMW about Bottle Fairies gets read a lot by people following links from TV Tropes. Based on my referers, it's linked from several places. But tonight I found a new one, and it makes me sound like some sort of stuffy academic.

I added a demurrer. I wonder if it'll get deleted again.

1 I'm pretty sure you took it wrong way. To me it sounds like a perfectly level remark after the link.

That particular article in the Tropes page was about people who write pretentious analyses of things.

I didn't think my TMW about Bottle Fairy was particularly pretentious.

5 That TMW is more like a "what if", is what you're saying?

6 It was just another way of looking at things. I do that a lot.

7 After far too many hours lost in that site, I have reached the conclusion that about 2/3 of the entries are just someone trying to increase their e-peen.   If they can find anything remotely in the ballpark, It.Is.The.Best.Example. EVAAARR!!!!!!!!

For evidence, I submit the insanely long list for "Crowning Moment of Awesome" (now thankfully hidden under recursive links).  I mean, really -- most of those don't even qualify as "Took a Level in Badass."  I'm tempted to add "Konata eating a chocolate coronet!" to the list, just to make fun of it.  (Yes I checked. And no, no one's already listed it.)

In other words, don't get worked up over some lamer.
