This isn't showing up in my journal but I hope this gets back to you.
It was silly and it was asking for trouble so it did what it was intended to do. It shouldn't have been done but it was and apologies were made so I don't understand the reasoning to start attacking people in or out of the thread/GW.
Replying as mcbeckla as fandom is banned from astropoet I just keep forgetting to switch accounts. I deleted the first comment as I'd done it under the wrong account.
I believe GL apologised, and I don't have an issue with GL, he tends to go a bit bouncy and do this sort of thing.
As for the other person, well I don't have a lot of time for her, but you already know that.
This isn't a one off for a lot of people, does that help? There's been a lot of sniping going on for a while. And insulting people by PM isn't really going to win you friends. What is J/T fandom a fascist state? You all have to comply to the same pattern of shipping or you're out? I do think that there needs to be less "skirt hitching and screaming like there's a mouse around" by S/W when things like that happen, but ... just don't do it! I also think that the J/T fans policed your own really effectively.
I hope that helps. I'm sorry if anything I've said hurt you personally, but I'm not sorry for anything I said.
I'm not sure I get what you mean by "I also think that the J/T fans policed your own really effectively."
I don't think you should have to be sorry just because she's my friend or that I or anyone else was upset. And honestly, I wanted to be a bit more harsh when commenting back to freifraufischer and I wouldn't have felt sorry for it but what would it prove?
I'm tempted to go search the GW forums in an attempt to find out exactly what you guys are talking about. But, being the lazy bum that I am, I probably won't.
I'm a J/T fan but I've found it much easier to be relaxed when it comes to shipping in general. Things get way to dramatic if people take them personally.
Example: I enjoy Daniel/Vala, but at the same time the idea of Cam/Vala is such a contrast, I love it too. Yay for craziness (at least every once in a while).

I'm continually amazed at how little things are taken beyond personal. It's nice to hear someone else with the same philosphy.
I like your example and I was really into Daniel/Vala but I don't why but I've lost interest in 'shipping anyone on SG-1.
I can't get into Cam/Vala because of the fact I did watch Farscape and I wasn't all that interested in Aeryn/John.
