Then count me out, please. I'm sorry, but "shipping" inevitably migrates towards dissension and hurt feelings, and seeing that happen here would break my heart.Caty wrote:YESSSS! This is the Shipping thread on this websiteStar Gazer wrote:Are we a "shipping" site now?
Ship, ship hooray
Then simply don't pay attention to this thread. And it's not like we're going to be dissing anyone else's preference..that would be rude and uncalled for. If Kate doesn't think this is appropriate then we'll stop. Either way, have a great day!Star Gazer wrote:Then count me out, please.

I never ment something like that to happen! I don't want to hurt anybody but deep in my heart I'm a shipper, I love those scenes and I read tons of shipping fanfiction. Just can't help myselfStar Gazer wrote:Then count me out, please.

I've been thinking about the definition of 'shipping-site.'Star Gazer wrote:Then count me out, please.

I'll try to explain before this becomes an uncomfortable debate.Kti wrote:Just as I do not understand all the fuss, I do not understand why I have so responds to your comment yesterday.

I would be very grateful Star Gazer, if you would tell me what makes the stone of contention for you;).
Ship wars are a nasty thing and those who have witnessed them or got somehow in the middle of them (in just trying to defend what we love against a forceful intolerant group of others) have probably learned their lesson and avoid them. I have for sure. Not getting into that ever again. Fandom should be about the love of the show and everyone should allow others to love what they love even if it's not their cup of tea. But it's not always easy to maintain peace when there's someone in the crowed who believes 'their' pairing is the only one that's canon and steers trouble - most ship wars start with simple discussions about why this pairing and not that one - and then in the heat of the passion of what we love gets out of hand.KateR wrote:I suspect Star Gazer's concern, however, is that once a Jack/Sam thread begins, others will feel obligated to begin a Jack/Daniel thread, or still others may feel they need to debate why either thread should not exist. The whole question of shipping can often bring up very unpleasant memories from the past, and those who lived through it once don't want to go through it again.
