You did do your job right! I even felt bad for the cabbie! It's nice to have a reminder now and then that in real life, most of us wouldn't like Sherlock at all, even though his big autistic brain reminds me so much of my (occasionally exasperating) husband. Great job thinking of that forensic bit with the bloody footprints, which would have really been there, of course!
Thank you so very much! I think that fandom has, in some ways, made us forget how strange Sherlock would be considered in RL. For all we say, "We'd hug him to bits" or something to that nature, we'd really cringe from him, wouldn't we?
It hit me as I was going to bed, "Why don't we see the aftermaths? Does John get in trouble? Doesn't Sherlock get pinned for the bloody footprints?" Which then allowed me to write something for Anderson, an idea I've wanted to do since I wrote my Sally one, to be honest.
I think a bit of why fandom is so fond of Sherlock has to do with wishing we could ourselves be more direct, particularly in the face of stupid people. I wish I cared less about what people thought of me, and I would love to be one of those people with witty or snide comments prepared at all times.
God, I'm envious of the people who are less direct. I have a similar problem to Sherlock: no mouth filter. Bundle that up with my intolerance of stupid bigots, and well, I've made a few enemies from that.
However, I am envious of Sherlock's direct nature coupled with the fact he always seems to get away with it.

Thank you very much for reviewing!

Living on the west coast of the US has helped me avoid a lot of the bigots. Not so good in more rural areas I've lived in.
