Goodness. Most of those people are so homophobic it's a wonder they don't expire from the acid content in their blood.
Actually, it sounds kind of familiar, y'know? I had something like that happen with the tolkien_slash archive a while back. It finally worked itself out (people *gasp* began to understand that we were *playing* with the characters, and that *gasp* if they didn't dig it they didn't have to read it). But I don't know, sounds like these freaks aren't going to be tolerant anytime soon. Maybe they're a younger crowd? :-)
*takes a moment to rant*
Arrgh. Just because someone's married does not mean they can't be bisexual! And just because they're married doesn't mean they can't possibly be 'more than buddies' with bandmates! And just because they're real life people doesn't mean we can't make up stories about them! I'll be willing to lay dollars to dimes those people decrying slash wouldn't bat an eye at a Mary Sue.
I'm very impressed with your responses to the board. You've done a great job of explaining it to people, and I love the way you've responded to each individual comment. It seems like Quiggs could be brought over to the slashy side of the force, which would be great. Keep working on her.
You seriously kicked ass on the Free Speech boards. Bitch. Now I can't make any of the good points because you made them all. ;) I loved how you took each of them down a peg with cool logic and a fuck-you-if-you're-going-to-be-stupid-about-it attitude. Made me all warm and tingly inside. *g*
Did you see who posted on Free Speech in defense of Metallica RPS? Check out the nick Skorpio.

PPS--Hah! You drooled over Cliff. You are infected with Cliff lust now, just like me. Was going to respond to this sooner, but got distracted by the Metslash outing on FS.
