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 don't even *read* Wincest ... However, I advocate it in real life, and I'm afraid that damned slippery slope will have me reading Sam/Dean any day now!

(meanwhile, the neat segue to "...and so comment on my stories, dammit!" might have been even more annoying than the rant about morals)

Heh. I have perfect the eyeroll automatically triggers a back button reaction when I see the "comment on my stuff!" plea, any longer. Although I noted in comments that she herself admits to being bad at commenting, to which I can only say, "O RLY?"

What a surprise. Not.

Come on Beth, read some Dean/Sam. I can personally assure you that the pits of hell do not spontaneously open up beneath your feet, nor are you more or less likely to be visited by either Jehovah's Witesses, Moonies, or the Church of Scientology.
