I'm more pipped about your deleting the entry than posting it. There was interesting discussion going on! People were possibly getting food for thought and evolving their thinking (I hope)! I wanted to see how it would have evolved since I last read!
Ack, I do not like it when fandom folks think turmoil is bad - it may not be nice, but it doesn't mean everybody hates each other, or the person who originated it. People are bound to clash on the Internet just as well as IRL, it's 100% unavoidable, and there's nothing wrong with it - and usually it blows over pretty fast, and nobody is left with hard feelings. At its best, it can clear the atmosphere and even improve the comm.
Don't think I have anything specifically against *you* though. Or anyone else, actually, for that matter. That's not the case. And hey, I do have an inkling as to how you're feeling - it wasn't that long ago when I unwittingly caused turmoil in another fandom. I thought the use of (excessive) violence as a comedy tool was a good idea for discussion - not so, apparently! Hey, at least no-one called you a troll! XD (Or said "GTFO" and other nasty things. I'm glad I'm not an emotional type of person.)
*I accidentally knocked my salt shaker to the floor IRL right after writing this. Rather amused me.
