I don't know why you keep insisting that you are not wise and eloquent; you've said all of that extremely well, and thank you, and I so very much agree. Adding to the post round-up, I read thingswithwingspost this morning, which has a couple trouble spots but is all-in-all excellent, and also nextian's post linking to it, which was brief but useful.
I just -- I am the first person in almost any situation to fight censorship. Censorship is always wrong. I do believe in authorial integrity, even -- maybe especially, given the nature of the complicated genre -- in fandom and fanfiction. But this is not about censorship, and it isn't actually about authorial integrity, it's about courtesy and community and being a good community member, and seriously, one of these days I really am going to have to write that fucking post about being a village elder. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I seriously do not even see where the anti-warnings people are coming from.
