And then we've got the entire "oh no, judging!" by having to set some arbitrary limit or try to define what popular and well known -- I mean exactly how do I set that standard? Anyone with over 500 people on their flist, more than 20 stories, with a combined comment count that exceeds 1000?
It would be extremely difficult, maybe impossible (and certainly impossible to do so in a way that didn't cause huge amounts of wank). My problem is not that you're not doing that; it's that the name of the community and the userinfo make it sound like you are in fact doing it. It's presenting the entire venture as something very different than it actually is.
I"m not going get into the rest of your comment, because, really, I'm already gone on at length about my problems with the comm -- you know how I feel, I know how you feel, there's almost no common ground on the issue, and there's no reason to rehash ad nauseam. I brought up this particular issue because the comm's name and description sounded very different past comments you'd made, and I wasn't clear if the comm's purpose had changed, or if it was just being marketed in a way that didn't reflect the comm's actual intent. When you clarified that it was the latter, it just became one more issue for me.
