You did, and I appreciate it. I am still perplexed by the notion of raiding/stealing though. In most fandoms, as long as places are pleasant to be in, people participate in many. There isn't really a notion of groups being...I won't say enemies, but people who should leave each other alone. If one group is gaining dominance over another, that generally prompts discussion about what that group should do differently, not that the other group should stop being visible, you know? People will happily take time away from Facebook/Reddit/whatever to spend time in both, if both are supportive places to be in.

I do agree that "advertising" is not great, for the ordinary reason that it's kind of crass, but I also think when people find a place where they have a sense of home, a certain number will want to make it part of their identity. There's a grey area between the two at times.
