Trolling in blogland
I came across this just now.

My favorite bit from the original post is here:

Putting down editors and writers also displays a lack of knowledge about this industry.
Romance is the most successful genre of all time because people have banded together
with a collective consciousness to do good not evil. This is true camaraderie. I
hope it continues or we will perish.


I love that asserssion that romance writers are fighting evil. It makes me feel less bad about those days when I want to write, say, Luna/Peeves smut. Because, really, if it has a happy ending, then that's one less point for Voldemort... or something.

I was going to address other points about that post, but I've been cold-cocked by that phrase about fighting evil.

I know just what you mean. I keep trying to undermine the logic of this sentence, then getting distracted by another awesome non-sequiteur.

*reels off, gibbering*

I ended up skimming that rant. I just couldn't read most of it. The desire to start banging my head was too overwhelming.

I dunno how much it is "doing good not evil" as much as it is generating contentment.
