People just need to be cured of the delusion that fandom is generally about anything useful or productive. XD
I agree, but this is exactly why I don't bother to comment either. Never mind the banning, what about the wasted effort? It's kind of amorphous in the fic what exactly these errors are; don't know much about the fandom, but the "whomever who blahb lbah" sentence looked wrong to me, and I can't put my finger on it exactly, but it did look like there were a lot of things that had the feel of sloppiness rather than artistic license.
Yeah, there is no line. Usually it's only the writers who care to post rants, so this leads to a buildup of frustration and a revanchist effort, followed by... well, you know the story. The problem with every compromise is that it will suit the majority of people, but the vocal minorities on both ends will nearly always be upset, and continue to be so. And of course it isn't fully a democratic thing, because the squeaky wheels get the grease, and yet at the same time people vote with their feet.
