I had been trying to stay out of this, but I feel the need to make some corrections concerning the Freedom City list and its policies.

lead you into many places. You rule the roost at Freedom City, but you're not happy with just that.
If anyone could be said to rule the roost at Freedom City, it's me, the listowner. I'm definitely not Leah, and somehow I doubt that she would want to be me. And believe it or not, I don't have the kind of absolute, totalitarian control that you seem to think I do. (If I did, I'd get people to write more Tarrant stories and more Travis stories. ;-)
So you come here to Lysator. Everyone on Freedom City is by definition a slasher,
This is incorrect. We are a slash-friendly list, but not exclusive. Not everyone on FC is a slash fan, or even into erotica. Many list members just like the relaxed atmosphere there, and my only stipulation is that they be tolerant of their fellow list members who do like slash and het erotica and that they follow the rules.
Freedom City is open to anyone who is over 18 and legally an adult in the area where they live, and is willing to abide by its rules, two of which include the prohibition of flaming and trolling.
but on this lyst there are people who are not. It's those people that are my concern, the ones you are after. It's petty, it's small minded, but I suppose it's power of some kind. And that's what you crave, don't you Leah?
It's my understanding that the great majority of the people on this list are adults, able to think for themselves and make their own decisions. There may be some minors here, but I don't think even they would be here if they didn't have at least a certain amount of intelligence and maturity. From where I stand, it looks like what you are trying to do is make other people's decisions for them.
Please stop making unwarranted personal attacks on other people.
Thank you,
Tiger M, Freedom City listowner

Just to demonstrate that this position is not purely theoretical, I can testify that I am one such FC member.
