* elfwreck: Stop Calling Yourselves Criminals!
There's so much commentary going around right now about how the fan community "should know better" than to express itself freely, about how "we're all criminals," so much shame and so much desire to hide, and it makes me so sad.
This community is *wonderful*. There is so much creativity and intelligence here. I've never encountered a real-world community that even comes close to what we have here. We have nothing to be ashamed about, and so much to be proud of. It breaks my heart to see smart, talented people ashamed of the great community they've helped create.
* buggery: Hold that 'yay' -- everything is NOT suddenly okay.
The best analysis I've seen on why Six Apart's recent "clarification" is just more of the same old bullshit.
