[case]

Since it's come to my attention that certain communities have been purposely posting troll secrets for the lulz, I'm going to start getting harsher on what counts as a non-troll secret, especially regarding the fandom involved.

ETA2: No, this isn't only SPN fandom. This goes for everyone else, too.

Just a heads up.

And apologies in advance if any real secret posters get caught up in this.

Thank you, I'm polite where it counts. :) (Also, late reply haha. My timezone sucks.)

(this is a bit tl;dr, sorry)

I don't really think it's all right to apologize on behalf of fandom (or anyone at all, unless they let you) because it's dealing with a lot of different people with lots of different opinions. Although, you can apologize for SPN fandom, it doesn't really count as a real apology on behalf of the whole fandom because not everyone agrees with what you're saying.

Also, the person who posted this entry deliberately called out the members of the community that is part of the SPN fandom, and gave the impression that they represented, pretty much, SPN fandom as a whole. So it's sort of unfair to all of us, as SPN fans. You shouldn't apologize, i think, but rather take offense that said poster lumps us all together in one characteristic, and based on assumptions calls out a part of our fandom as being horrible. :)
