*shrug* It wasn't a big deal, and it was really quite a small thing to make fandom wank, so it doesn't matter. Honestly, next to the insanity that is usually in most f_w stuff, this was positively normal.

I don't necessarily agree with you about H/G -- I'm off the opinion that as long as the feelings are mutual, the ship is canon -- but everyone was just overreacting.

Although, I'm still not sure how f_w posters seem to think "H/G shippers put up with a lot" (or something along those lines) is quite the same as the H/Hr claims of oppression. ;)
