I'm all for meta discussion.
Being linked on fandom_wank, though? This is my island. I like it that way. I don't want someone building a bridge to the mainland.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Well, yes.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
At the risk of starting an argument about meta and communication styles, I'm just going to say this.
Dear lurkers: this board may be a public forum, but it is not a newspaper, and most of us are not pundits or VIPs. You want to argue with someone here? Argue with them here.
Otherwise we're just strawmen for you to take potshots at, and most of us are quite capable of defending ourselves and our positions -- with grace and humor, even.
I've gotten into arguments about this in the past. I think it's rude. YBMV, of course.

You know, I am still bothered by the popslash fandom = lobotomy crack from a few weeks back.
You're right, that was me, and it was a cheap joke. Honestly, that's all it was, a joke. I know too many good writers who are writing popslash. But I think it's in the Buffista by-laws somewhere that all other considerations fall by the wayside when there's the chance for a snark.
I apologize sincerely if I offended you. It wasn't intentional. Nor was it the smartest thing I've ever done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it asking for trouble to ask for a link to the link?

In this case, the person in question doesn't lurk here.
She's a (very good) RPS writer who I suggested for Lizard when she was looking for the same and was curious about who was linking to her. Referrer logs are my downfall.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
ita, the person is linked to upthread a ways.

Yes, but if you search for Lizards posts, it's there. But it is asking for trouble, because twain meet never shall on this issue.
