Wow. Pardon me for barging in here, but I followed a link from MB's lj. I kinda missed out on the heyday of FMA fandom, and may do the same with DGM. Always a day late & a dollar short... :-)
Anyway, it's always nice to see people whose writing I enjoy & respect stand up for people, and stand against folks whose heads have gotten too big for them. (I originally typed that ruder, but decided to aim for caution in a new lj...)
Anyways, I've been appalled by the meta I've been reading from these 2, and am encouraged to know there are still thoughtful, polite, articulate people out there.
:) Anax, you're polite in the sense that a barracuda is polite - you're upfront about the fact that sometimes you rip people's faces off XD; I respect that, in case I've never told you.
you said it perfectly, cryo. 's part of why i <3 you both.
as for this current fuckfest of wank, well, i'm gonna go over there *points* and wait for everyone to chill before i even attempt to present an opinion.
Mm. I'm not sure I'm into eye-for-an-eye, but I'll respect the fact that it's your journal, you have every right to wank about other people who are wanking XD
I will thank you for linking to a couple of these posts which I had read in the past but held my tongue against. It's not my fandom, not my journal, but I do hate to know that some people are getting dumped on with the nebulous goal of improving a fandom. I suppose that makes me a wanker too (and a care bear) for wishing I had said something then, but oh well.

See, now I know you're not talking about me, cos I am not polite. :D You must have been referring to MB there.

So, if I start writing Kanda/Allen fics, will I become a BNF too?
