Ahh, yeah, no, it was not a good example. That is a recurrent problem - people who are angry over some issue hold it until they explode in some situation where it makes no sense. And because the issue is valid or an emotional one, no one steps in to say, hey, this isn't valid. The people also lose no credibility and get to make the same mistakes over and over.

I've been here since 2000 - Smallville was my first big slash fandom, and man, I don't remember it like this.
