When your grammar is in doubt, blame elitism (yet again)
At fanfic symposium, Cynical Otter rambles about "Flogging Elitism in the Fanfiction World".

A shortened version:

blah blah blah snobby fan fiction writers blah blah insecurity and pretentiousness, served with a side order of the no-life syndrome blah fan faction is NOT as serious as say, human rights or war blah de blah they lack the basic brain function of enjoyment squeak whine their “inferior” counterparts could come up with better original characters then they could ever hope too whaaaaa whaaaa If you can write better then Anne Rice, where are your book deals blah blah sinister sect my personal favorite Take that typo and write the most patronizing review you can about the misplaced coma she's still rambling My problem rests solely with the dingdongs that decided that going to college and taking Women’s Lit. somehow gives you an advantage over 99% of the general population.

Comments on Cynical Otter's post are amassing here.

ETA: More commentary, thanks to an anon poster below.

ETA (again): FYI -- According to the GAFF thread (see link above), Cynical Otter and PM Flores (from this wank) are the same person.

ETA: It looks like we elitists have been given an apology...?
