Elena, it's the pejoratives, (like 'that's a bit rich' , 'rant', etc:) ), that are used to describe Ann's thoughts that upset me, not that people disagree with those thoughts. As soon as that type of language creeps in, the intolerance shows.
By the way, bit rich to talk about tolerance of people posting different types of fics, when anti-deathfic rants keep popping up.
I think maybe you've misunderstood or I explained it poorly - more likely the latter.
What I meant by that was this:
-- We should try to apply the same standard of acceptance to fics as we should to non-fic posts. We should try to be consistent. (And I know as soon as I say "should" I'm in trouble:) )
Often, especially in longer non-fic posts, a person puts as much thought and care into what they write as they do into writing a short vignette. So their feelings are as much on the line as fic writers. Some people chose fiction to express their ideas and feelings, some non-fic posts, some music vidoes.
So I repeat my plea for tolerance.
