I thought the FFML was for posting fics and talking about them.  Granted,
I've sent in my fair share of potted meat product (here's another one),
but most of it's been mundane information requests and notices about my
fics (apologies for the self-plug).

I think Zon-nan Chen's post was a little out of line.  I think the
moderators think the same thing, but are a little more reserved about
posting their opinion at this moment.

I agree with Zen.  Quit the shouting and the ranting and raving.  The list
gets enough "who's the better fiancee" discussions without the
mudslinging, so please don't start including personal attacks.

I for one think Zon-nan's reply was out of line and that the discussion
should stop there.  Perhaps an apology to the offended parties (especially
to Nobody?) is in order, and then we all get on with it.  I'm looking
forward to reading some quality fanfiction and not useless blatherings
about who's better than who and who should be "darned to heck."

So how about that second part of Long and Winding Road, Zen (hint, hint)?
