Oh, and there are some in the comments to the Firefox article too:

I am all for Abe expressing his opinion, however to mock fandom (regardless of whether he was "Role playing" or not as per what the comm is for) using a journal that has been used to address these concerns of fiction vs reality isn't particularly professional. Ironically, the very comment that 'he is rping and may not reflect his personal views' is exactly what fandom has been saying re: fiction/rping vs reality and now it's coming back to bite Abe in the ass (sciencegeek)

Agreed with you, sciencegeek. The "But's it's an RP, it's not REAL!" excuse rings hollow, unless they are willing to cede the same reality vs. fiction defense to the other side. I'm pretty sure it's not fandom who is unclear on what the differences between real and not-real are, here. (WriterZilch)
