The thing that I'm waiting for someone to go off on? (I may have to do it myself, if no one else obliges me...)
Who the hell are you [pros] to suddenly be the hobby police? THIS IS A THING. WE DO IT FOR FUN. IT IS ENTERTAINING TO READ AND WRITE. I MAY JUDGE YOUR CRAPPY TASTE IN TV IN MY HEART, BUT NOTICE HOW YOUR CRAPPY TASTE IN TV IS A HOBBY THAT DOES NOT PROFIT YOU, BUT YOU DO IT FOR FUN ANYWAY. ALSO NOTICE ME NOT GETTING HET UP UNDER THE COLLAR ABOUT YOUR CRAPPY TASTE IN TV, EVEN WHEN YOU SHARE IT WITH THE REST OF THE CLASS. THIS IS A HOBBY. HOBBIES, ARE SORT OF BY DEFINITION NOT REALLY THINGS THAT WE PROFIT FROM. THIS IS WHY IT IS A HOBBY AND NOT OUR JOB. IF WE WERE INTERESTED IN IT AS A JOB, WE WOULD PROBABLY BE WRITING OUR OWN ORIGINAL STUFF. NOTICE THE PROS WHO WRITE THEIR OWN NOVELS WHICH ARE VERY GOOD AND ALSO WRITE INEXPLICABLE FANFIC ON THEIR OWN TIME TO BLOW OFF STEAM. THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS THEIR HOBBY. GO FIND YOUR OWN SANDBOX. IF YOU ARE RANTING ABOUT OUR HOBBIES, MAYBE YOU NEED MORE OF YOUR OWN.
