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 just wandered into that wank because it's Sunday morning and I'm trying hard to avoid doing my wash. What boggles my mind about her is that she's apparently been in fandom for ages but acts like a total noob. She's even doing the whole "thanks for the email support" thing, and apparently expecting that people will believe she's getting this rush of support from people who didn't comment on her LJ. *shakes head* Plus ca change and all that. Every few years this sort of intolerant stupidity raises its head, makes some funny noises, and then storms off in high dudgeon. Hang in there.

Yes, lurkers support me in email.

She's got plenty of support and you know, good for her and for them. I'm all for people finding other people they are comfortable with in fandom, but dude, you want people to respect your requests or even your prejudices, you kind of have to let that door swing both ways.
