Exactly. It is an insult and I certainly took it that way. Calling slash "character assassination" is also more likely to be perceived as an insult than an opening to a discussion. And then folks wonder why lists like Freedom City have to exist and why there can't be open discussion among fans about slash. Personally, I don't give a flying flip if someone else doesn't like slash, whatever their reasons. It's not like anyone is forcing you to read said "character assassination" against your will. If you don't like it, don't read it. Problem solved.

I don't read it. But are you going to demand that I never participate in discussion, a discussion I was *asked* to participate in? Neil asked me a question. I answered it. Are you going to demand that Neil shut up too?
