"The will to be stupid is a very powerful force, but there are always alternatives."

This makes me angry.
What in hell is wrong with people? The bloody Internet is big enough to hold all of us. We don't even have to acknowledge each other if we don't want to. You like CoE? Fine, go to it. You hate Gwen? Your privilege. I don't give a flying flip. You don't like what I write? Don't read. It's as simple as that. Considering how many of us are writing Torchwood, and how many variations of Ianto there are, it's hard to believe that people have to try to force writers to conform to their ideal.
You have an ideal? You write it, you cowardly jerk. Lay it out for everyone's criticism. Be willing to accept whatever comes your way. Hundreds of us do. Have the balls that God gave a mouse and jump into the real fray. Learn what it is to work hard to perfect a craft for the sheer pleasure of it, to be willing to give up evenings and weekends to doing something as if you were a professional, which most of us will never be, or even want to be. Get out of your fever swamp. Come on, I dare you.
