about the current warnings debate

[harborshore]

I was thinking about the argument many of the people on the no-warnings side make, that it ruins the surprise element/artistic integrity/take your pick of the story, and, um, we label stories with pairings, and that's obviously something most fandom writers don't take issue with. In my silly little head, announcing the pairing beforehand constitutes a pretty massive spoiler. *blinks innocently*

Yes, that. The logic, it fails.

Dude, I don't deserve any of the credit for this discussion. I haven't even been able to participate at all in the contentious discussions, I've just added a comment here and there to sensible posts and tried to, I don't know, stay calm and stuff.

Such epic failing has not been seen since... okay, well pretty recently but still.

Everyone who tries to be sensible and calm and not try to punch wanky people in the face with the power of their minds? Deserves at least a little credit, I think. &hearts God though, there are people who are so incredibly brave, and are willing to share their stories to try and make others understand... It shouldn't have to happen like this, but I have so much admiration for them.

Their courage is pretty stunning, I'd say. And thank you, too. ♥
