No sarcasm.
Here is the post in question. (http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_zutara/346592.html) Nobody is calling Kataang fans assholes or bashing them for liking the ship. How is that post more divisive than you blasting a group of fellow fans as assholes? (FYI, a post about this news story (http://community.livejournal.com/capslockkataang/90136.html) also appeared at
