It's amazing how similar people can be underneath the superficial differences, isn't it? I often find myself 'clicking' more with people halfway across the world than people I'm supposed to have so much more in common with. But then, the I've met the two Greek friends I spend the most time with here through fandom, so that might explain part of those seemingly random similarities. *g*
I do think that people should care about how their actions affect the health of the fandom community and also be prepared for people to be upset when they behave badly. Seems like common sense and rather obvious to me,
Pretty much. And I don't know why they call it 'common' sense, it seems to be becoming more and more of a rarity.
and I'm not exactly sure what prompted your paragraph about it other than the warning wank in general, but I'm sure I don't want to know. :P
Just a few posts I've read in that context, not one specific thing. And I'm not sure you want to know, unless you're eager to lose a few hours cursing your computer screen. ;) Or if you're feeling brave, there's always the abyss that is metafandom.
(I can give you some links if you want, but consider this my 'might raise blood pressure' warning).
