Is there a law that covers this? Should be.
Since my latest fandom obsession is CSI, I've been reading the CSI boards over at TWOP. So as I wend my way, delighting in my obsession, through the board dedicated to the character Sara I stumble upon

This argument is between a non G/S shipper (Lizbet), and another poster who may or may not be a Shipper, but really digs Sara. (So do I, for the record, I so relate to her temper.)

Lizbet mentions something about Sara's idiosyncrasies during a discussion, as far as I can tell, regarding her relation to all the other characters. Coolbyrne asks that she explain what parts of the character she feels are idiosyncrancies, Lizbet rambles a while on the whole Ship vs. non-Ship thing, but doesn't answer the question.

Lizbet decides to back out of the argument, stating "But I'd also rather be a live coward than a dead hero. If I was on a road in Iraq and someone started shooting at me, I'd duck for cover until things cooled down."
