Since I don't belong to Gather, will comment here.
I could answer the second set of questions affirmatively, FAR more easily than the first. Your comment about the King cutting off heads if we don't keep'em laughing was spot-on.

I read the article and comments just now

there seems to be nothing but support so far. Maybe your detractors are sleeping in?

I wish you a fine weekend! You always seem to write with passion and clarity all that the same. That is a fantastic skill.

You should not make me laugh and snort hot coffee. It is very painful.

If I don't say it enough, I love and envy your verbal flair.

Also, you win at the internets for all your gather storming.

I'm pleased to see the comments look civil and intelligent - then again Mr. retardation hasn't showed up (and hopefully won't). I read a fair amount of slash and it wasn't until two years ago that I ran into a post by a woman who an ardent slash writer and fan who strongly opposed gay rights - my reaction was a mixture of shock, horror, and ultimately amazement that someone could be that selfish and uncaring.

i'm betting the splodey will happen after sunday. everyone who is likely to go nuts over this is probably at church.
