>>Disclaimer: These are my thoughts illogical as they may be.<<

I love free speech.

The few times I have ever posted to the list have been because a fic motivated me enough--positively or negatively--to comment about it. I never just say, "I sixth this rec!" because that seems annoyingly redundant. If 19 people have recommended it, why do I need to pipe up? Unless 19 people have recommended a fic that has some serious, obvious or otherwise bothersome flaw to it, I'll offer my feedback directly to the author.

I actually enjoy the discussions of recommended pieces as much as, if not more than, reading Buffy and Angel fic.

I've told myself that I should check these boards more frequently. I *liked* the hot discussion about real people fic that seemed to create the initial drive to start these boards. I *like* to hear multiple opinions and points of view. I love looking for strengths and weaknesses in works of fiction, be it the show itself or the fanfic. But, hey, I'm one of the meanies on TWoP, so take my opinion for what it's worth.
