I'm kind of wondering... Because I used to hang around at ffr, myself; and then they started flaming me for absolutely nothing, calling me a homophobe when there was no good reason to do it. Some of you may remember that. I mentioned that I thought it was a bad idea to write a canonically straight character as gay without looking into how his life would be different; and how important I thought it was to keep character in slash fics in-character, instead of turning them into Generic Gay Guys(tm). And somehow they thought that made me a homophobe. No, I don't know why, either. But yeah, that's what made me finally decide to leave.

I don't know why you're still hanging out there, with the way they insist you've got to agree with whatever their party line is--that you've got to reject only some kinds of bad writing, and not others. It's like some kind of high-school-girl in-group over there.
