As a very contrarian by nature

Hee! You need an icon with 'Contrarian, by nature' as a caption:) And I want an icon that has the caption 'Steely Opinionated, but inclined to Mary Sue at random'!

Honestly, I find that LJ is slightly less elitist and cliquish than the boards were/are. I am very happy not to have to deal with trolls or with posters who appoint themselves as intellectual arbiters for a certain branch of a fandom. On LJ, I think posters are slightly less intimidated about posting and are more inclined to express their true opinion. OTOH, the quality (content) of discussion is often more abbreviated and the threads, more ephemeral. A good thread, though, has the potential to be linked so many more times than on the board.

For my part, I find that the human element makes up for the less intellectual bent of the debates. I like the mix of 'squee', 'how are you going', 'lets meta like mad'. LOL.
