I'm glad the mods added an edit to say that they don't necessarily agree with the entire content of the post. They could certainly make it a bit more clear which part is questionable, but the comments definitely take care of it.
One thing that this discussion has made me think about is that there are quite a few archives out there, on which I post my fics, that include "slash" and "het" in the warnings alongside all the triggery stuff. That's always annoyed me, but now I'm actually thinking I need to do something about it, like write the archive mods and ask them to reconsider lumping all of that together. I would never have stopped to think about that without this discussion, you know?
I take issue with quite a few things in that post, but that's just me. I think a lot of what she's writing about is a matter of style, and some of her "good" examples are honestly not all that fantastic. But that's another issue altogether. ;-)
