I didn't say "any" negativity wounds fandom. For instance being honest is a generally good thing, but sometimes honesty and negativity necessarily go hand-in-hand, even in the fandom.
Everyone in the wank community is now aware of Crystal's game. Everyone outside the wank community is as well. Therefore, the only purpose served by the wank is to feed her need for attention. She's manipulating the wankers to serve her own purposes. To my mind, she's the one who "wins," and the wankers are simply her stooges.
Anyway, I don't want turn the lovely dutch_eowyn's LJ into a referendum on wank. I agree with her thesis. I feel sorry for Crystal; she's obviously in a lot of pain. I don't expect others to feel the same way.
