103, 116, 118, 125, 144, 158, 164
116 - I'm pretty open with my spiritual views when the topic does arise, but I do wonder how the subject gets brought up in fandom in the first place. Because honestly, what DOES it have to do with fandom or fandom activity? Of course, if someone gets up on their soapbox and starts preaching, yeah, they're BRINGING it in; I had one reader of one of my fics rail on me for having the implication that two characters (unmarried) slept together. She said "[Character] better have slept on the couch because they're not married yet!" I didn't respond to the review, but I don't appreciate people bringing their religious views into fandom where they don't belong (that is to say, where opinions of such are not asked for/warranted).
I do think everyone's entitled to their own religious views. You're also entitled to step away from a fan or fen that are being soapboxy by being, as you said, intolerant. I do think a great amount of fandom is there to enjoy the fandom, NOT to bring religion into it. Sure, it's kind of interesting when you've got characters who might represent religion (Aslan, for example), but it's possible to have discussions like those without attacking fans for their personal religious choice(s). Anyone who brings up religion in an intolerant way should be ignored; arguing with them just adds fuel to their fire.
118 - WUT.
125 - Better him than Eddie Murphy IMO. But YMMV.
144 - You don't find religion on the Internet, sorry to say. You can learn about it, but if everything you know about a religion comes from the 'Net, then you need do take a step back, head to the library and talk to someone that can help you do some honest research. Don't be heartbroken/angry at fandom/thinking you're never going to find your answers. Take this as a learning experience. You can grow from this and find the answers you're looking for, but only if you TRY. (And "try" here means more than "use Google.")
158 - Yikes! For some reason in my mind, the Narcissa we saw a flash of in previous movies seemed MUCH younger and more beautiful. I'm sure the actress is cool and her acting skill is what got her the part, but she just doesn't LOOK it to me, either. I think I'm just going to accept the watercolor Narcissa from "The Death of Narcissa Black" as my personal canon from now on plzkxthx.
164 - I'm sorry, just based on "Sarah's" total abuse of ellipses and frequent misspellings (whether, sabbatical, truly, etc.), I wouldn't think any of her stuff is worth reading anyway. Maybe she had some good ideas, but even the best ideas are difficult to read if they're poorly executed (that is to say, aren't given the time/effort to spellcheck, proofread, etc).
That said, I'm a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan and I have no qualms admitting it. I'm 23. My personal interests within the fandom might be different than yours, but I do believe there are a lot of talented authors still in the fandom, so you should still give the fandom a chance. One author leaving for mysterious reasons isn't the end of the world. You might find that the rest of canon (be it anime, manga, whatever) is interesting enough on its own to come back and explore some more. There's always more fun to be had.
