That's true about most fandoms, I think-- people have totally different perceptions of how to participate in them & what they expect from others, and for some people any criticism is just 'ruining their fun' because they're only there to have fun, and being brought down in any way isn't fun. Though I hate the cult of niceness too, of course... *sigh* Though perhaps the correct 'etiquette' is to email people with stuff like that, just so it doesn't become wank, y'know?
