...eeeexcept most of the anti-fans did not much worse than comparatively gentle mocking, in-depth thinking about plot points, giggly crack-theorizing, or write gay fanfic about the series.
Yeah, I know. Antis aren't trolls any more than the fans are. But the mods have a slightly different perception of what constitutes as disruption. And they're the ones who run the site.
I would safely estimate, however, that they're making a... bad decision. I dunno about others, but I class myself as an antifan... and I've spent a good deal of money and time on the Maximum Ride franchise. More, I daresay, than the majority of squees do :\
Then again, I am probably an outlier.

IE, going against the status quo and getting people upset with, gasp, opinions.
@Nathan - A bad decision by making antis unwelcome, you mean? Unfortunately, you've already spent the money. >.> But I'm not sure the mods care about JP's treasure haul so much as they care about keeping the forums clean to their expectations.
@Kay And taking over entire threads with conversation. >.>
But yeah, pretty much. Most of the "antis" on TTS who are still there are the ones who don't actually argue the books. >.<'

I feel kind of guilty about coming back blatantly-they're just doing their jobs, which I suppose isn't saying much when you take into account that the same could be said about the Nazis. But still.
...Yeah, I dunno. It worked for me, but you're unwilling to ask for your account back, so... I'd just say come back in a while with a new face. Which has worked before...
