Actually, I'm glad my attention was drawn to this thread; I think I missed this the first time around in the flurry of the move.
I'm *very* glad you've chosen to label your journal as what I will shorthand as a critical space; that seems to be a minimal form of fair warning. I've not run astray of misunderstanding the tenor of this space, but I've seen several others do so. Labeling should help.
And I'm going to give thought as to how to encourage the creation, labeling, and possibily differentiation of the critical and social spaces within fandom. You're right that, to a certain degree, we are short of fully acceptable critical zones. But they *must*must*must* be well-labeled. It would be bad for community cohesion to create innocent bystanders taken out by essentially friendly fire.
