Okay peoples, it's like this. You don't have to read every secret.
OMGWHAT? Yes, seriously, you don't have to read them all. Hell, I read maybe six secrets a post. Oh well, you can ignore them too. It's not that hard. I'm assuming a majority of us are human, and humans come equipped with ignorance, it's easy enough to use as well. For the robots in the audience, just get yourselves an ignorance update patch, it's lots of fun, I promise.
Oh yes, they CAN cause drama. I can vouch for this, being on the receiving end of some RP secret drama back in the early days before personal attack blackout. Now I laugh about it. If I was annoying someone then I was doing something right.
And really, RP is an important part of fandom. After all, it's called FANdom. It's about what the fans do. See, you got the fan, and the do. They just added an m to make it less obvious. So get over yourselves and do what I do when a certain type of secret annoys me: make a secret that mocks it in a similar format. I never submit mine, but hey, you can submit it anyway. Everyone KNOWS a lot of people look at the 'non-fandom' secrets as well. It'd be more reasonable to not put up links to those things than to get rid of RP secrets.
No matter how many times this vote goes up, I believe we're going to end up sticking with it.
So, have a nice day and keep ahold of those two cents. After all, two pennies saved is a smack upside the head with reality that you can avoid in the future.
Edit: Oh yeah, forgot. TL;DR point - RP secrets aren't going anywhere.
