Yeah, it's definitely still annoying. Expressing your opinion on your own corner of the interweb is fine, however wrong it may be, but seeking out other people who are happily minding their own fannish business in order to rudely preach at them? Not so fine.
And yeah, it's sad that somebody can only take away the most basic of ideas from such a complex work, really. Having said that, it could be an age thing; I'm fairly sure I missed the more complex themes of a lot of stuff I read in my early teens. ;)
The idea that a break-up has to be the result of one person 'abandoning' the other irritates me, too. It's actually perfectly possible for reasonable adults to end a relationship amicably, without it being anyone's 'fault'! Grr.
(Yeah, that's true. There do seem to be slightly different stereotypes attached to the terms. I shall certainly bear that in mind in future.)
