I just remember the, ahem, event that brought us together as friends. The Great Slash Debacle of 2006. I was so very clueless, and you were so very kind. And I tend to place my own knowledge as the lowest common denominator of any given group. (*snort* This is actually something I'm working on in therapy.) So I'm assuming that everyone's smarter than me, and knows how to not get caught in these sorts of things. Hence my, "Don't you people know better?"
I wasn't so much offended as annoyed. And I know that for folks like yourself, who work very hard to keep a clear line between real life and fannish studies, this is a real worry. But there were so many people on my FL who were, honest to goodness, throwing the all caps around and threatening to defriend/excommunicate/hate forever anyone who crossposted their locked entries. I kind of snapped, I guess.
