Dear all

Claire and I have been running SG:A Santa for six years now, and while it's occasionally been hard work, we've always appreciated the generosity of spirit and sheer joy that people bring to the exchange, from the people who participate, to those who pinch hit and those who don't write but who take the time to leave feedback for our authors. You've always made it fun and always been positive and upbeat about the exchange, treating each other with respect and kindness (at least publically :)). We sincerely appreciate the fact that you've all been full of the Christmas spirit, even if the present that you got under the tree wasn't exactly what you wanted Santa to bring, and we love you all ♥.

Unfortunately, there is always one rotten apple who tries to spoil it for everyone.

For the first time ever, Claire and I have just had to ban someone for their behaviour. And not just from [livejournal.com profile] sga_santa. No, they're banned from everything we run in the history of forever. (Never let it be said we are not righteously vengeful when the situation calls for it.)

Trolling other authors taking part in the exchange is both seriously uncool and utterly unacceptable. Doing it the way this person did? Spectacularly stupid.*

This message has been brought to you by Al and Claire, who are older and have more insurance**.

And now I'll return you to your regularly scheduled broadcasts.

* we're talking Darwin Award levels of stupid here, people

I couldn't put a name to the movie but I do remember the scene. They are in the car park and someone nicks their car parking space and yes Icarusancallon they do ram the car. That is why the comment about the car insurance comes up in response to the other driver.

It is one of the coolest scenes ever and I'm sure it has spoken to the inner desires of many a driver.

As for the community, I cant believe that someone could be like that. I know that trolls exsist and they are the most annoying creatures in the netverse. BUT I couldn't believe that someone would do it here.

Sad isn't it.

As for the SGA santa, thank you for all you hard work. And I really wish you hadn't give me the shock that you did this morning. I thought you were going to say you were giving up. :D

PS. I actually got a really nice comment from my recipent this year SQUEEEEE. So you will have to put up with me at the next one too.
