*nod* I am TOTALLY lucky with my dS fandom experiences. Because I can read all the stuff about how scary it once was, but the fandom I came into? OMG so ridiculously nice it's almost scary. It probably helps some that it's more lj-centered now, and not mailing lists, because it means I kind of can just specifically choose people to read who are stupid, though. Or maybe fandoms have, like, life cycles? This is the low point of crazy drama now, after overdosing a couple years ago.

Also, I silently judge people who dislike Vecchio. I think a lot of people do, actually. There are probably people who are like "Oh, yeah, and Vecchio and Fraser had a great friendship and stuff" and are really thinking "Vecchio SUCKS! Give me my KOwalski so I can slash!"
