You said: Ah, maybe it's a cultural thing. In Germany we enjoy lively debates. Learning to stand up for one's opinion is something we are taught at school. ______________
First of all, that's a pretty xenophobic statement. Second of all, I didn't say where I was from (does it really matter?).
It seems to me that if it is "lively debate" that you are interested in, badfic rants are a pretty dry source. From what I've seen, all you get are a bunch of badficcers making statements like, "You're mean!" or "I just write for myself, so bug off!", along with a number of not-so-bad-ficcers saying "Amen". Not exactly a rich source of debate. It seems to me that if you're actually in if for the debate as opposed to feeling superior and getting ego-strokes from your peers, you might find a more debatable topic.
