In my case, the fact that I read slash doesn't mean I don't read anything else. (Fanfic itself is a very small proportion of my reading, and I read both gen and slash if I come across something to my taste.) But even if it did -- and I know people who won't read any fanfic other than slash -- what of it? People aren't obligated to read what they don't like simply because you think they ought to have the "experience". Nor are they likely to derive much benefit from an experience consisting primarily of boredom.
I'm sure Neil Faulkner and the other gen writers out there are delighted to hear that their writing is boring, as compared to a PWP.
Given that isn't what Lisa said, I'm neither delighted nor horrified.
