In most past fandoms, most people complained for a while, then drifted away to something else, so this is rather unusual for me. I'm also usually mono or bi-fannish, and I'm an utter fandom whore at the moment, so... *g*
I think maybe in this case it's because right from the start I had more fun in SGA fandom than actually watching the show. And not just because the fic included slash either.
Other fans saw what I felt the show wasn't following up on -- exploring the city, being completely cut off from earth and how that would affect the expedition, the ethics of things they've done in Pegasus -- and wrote the fic dealing with those issues.
The writers would maybe bring them up, but either abandoned them in favor of very important task of blowing stuff up, or just wrapped it up with a clumsy blow because they didn't know how to go in-depth.
In our own LJs, we can say what we want and ignore anything we want. I think it's because it's more like being in someone else's house and trying to be polite.
In most forums, it's often like everyone's trying to outdo each other in the Rudeness Anonymous category and while I respect mods for the thankless job they have (I've been one, I know), sometimes it's like the inmates are in charge of the asylum.
