I read their profile and a couple of their stories (which made my eyes bleed they were so badly written) and they were very clearly anti-S/J in all shapes and forms.
I sent them a snarky message back, and also asked them why they even read the fic in the first place when they clearly don't like the pairing? I politely hinted that they should just leave read the ships they like and ignore everything else.
The one thing that bugged me about the whole exchange was that they'd left a comment to my story, but I couldn't reply! It was basically "do your research, Sam and Jack can't be in a relationship, so your story sucks". There was no way that I could reply and defend myself because the replies go as PM's! It bugged me that this person had left such a review and I couldn't reply in a way that other people could see that I had done my research (or rather, my beta had, *g*) and I'd read the frat regs in detail. It's quite clear in that particular fic that both chracters know it's wrong and the risk they are taking.
And also, Jack can't have a relationship with Janet either! Or even Daniel. Following the frat regs to the letter means they shouldn't even be as close as the canon shows them to be, if it affects the way the team works in a negative way.
