Wendy opined:

But this S/M stuff has been going on here for months and I'm tired of it. I don't mind that some people like slash, but if I see a slashzine I'm not forced to buy it. But every time I open my mailbox there's at least one post on the list about Suffering Beautifully, and I wish people would keep that sort of thing on the other list, where it belongs.

(1) Hurt/comfort is not S&M. Liking hurt/comfort does not necessarily correlate (either way) with liking S&M.

(2) Hurt/comfort is often gen, and certainly needn't be slash.

(3) Calle is the ListMaster; I assume it's up to him to decide what stays and goes in the Lyst rules.

I got pretty tired of the Deliverance thread after a while. I stopped reading it. It stopped bothering me.
