Fandom Wank is destructive to fandom and fans. - via metafandom

DISCUSS.

Especially: "I think that in their desperation to keep things going, they often post "wank" that actually contains interesting and intelligent stuff." Or: are we slowly turning into Meta vs. F_W (I certainly hope not).

Edit: Yes, I realize it's been posted to CW already; the comm rules state this is more a discussion community. Yes, I participate in FW and like it (mmm.) - no one's brought that up yet, but just in case. I think my main point of discussion here which I totally failed to articulate is does anyone else feel that sometimes the "wanks" are less wanky and more people just having intellectual discussion? I guess if I find myself intellectually interested in what people are writing about the whole thing is less of a funny spectacle. NOT to say "oh I'm snobby you can't put intellectual debates on FW", just that it really isn't as funny as pages of cat macros or MsScribe.
