Fandom is just determined to annoy me this week.

It is entirely possible to respect a person's right to their opinion and not respect a particular opinion. It's also possible to disagree with another person's opinion and still respect the person.

It is nearly impossible to respect a person whose opinion includes the view that anyone who disagrees with their opinion deserves no respect, and furthermore, because their views differ, are morally bankrupt, ethically void, and possibly the root of all evil.

And seriously? People who write (or read) incest are no more likely to be advocating for it in real life than people who write (or read) h/c kidfic are advocating for child abuse.

I'm pretty clear that's what set me off as well -- the whole, I don't want to discuss it. I have little regard for people who feel the need to make hurtful or insensitive statement and then refuse to allow a forum for discussion. If you want to have a bad opinion about people for whatever reason, fine, but if you're going to call people out, either stand up and take the flack if it comes or shut the hell up, post flocked, whine in private.

People tend to forget that there were filters before LJ, and the one between brain and mouth probably should be used more often.
