I was the one who objected, and just to explain, what I was objecting to was what I feel Heath would be offended by, that is, depictions of sex between Heath and Michelle. That is what is known as RPS (Real People Sex) in the fanfic world. There are people who believe and I am one, that is it disrespectful to be that intrusive of the actors' private lives. And from what I have seen reported about Heath in the magazine articles, interviews, etc, he did not appreciate the paparazzi taking a telephoto lens shot of him buck nekkid. And RPS is in the same vein IMO.
Since the PT is in honour of our beloved BBM and the creators of it, I don't see why we would dishonour two of the main contributors, IMO.
Including Heath and Michelle in the PT in a comedic vein, in parody, is not what I was objecting to. I was objecting to the RPS. I hope I have explained this clearly enough. ;)

Thanks for the clarification Jane. I was aware that the RPS was the problem, hence my "reasonably tasteful and considerate" comment. There's plenty of fanfic around that deals in RPS, and it has many readers. The Performance Thread is also a divine form of fanfic, so it's understandable that some posters would include RPS eventually.
You were right to make your feelings known, and I happen to agree with them. It's only your stating that "we" as a whole would object that seems too much IMO like laying down a law. BetterMost does not ban RPS and other adult topics. Hopefully, if we use the tools available to us to regulate content--changing the subject, not picking up on or continuing the material, sending PMs, etc.--the poster in question will adjust out of consideration.

I'm also very glad that the person I spoke up to was very polite and open to hearing what I had to say, and was willing to make a change that we could both live with.

I agree that PMs are good for alerting posters about what makes you uncomfortable, but I'm glad when larger issues, like RPS and making rules, are aired on the Critics Thread. I think constructive criticism helps everybody be more aware, and hopefully, happier. :)
Daniel:
Thank you Meryl...
I would also like to say that I am not very happy with the object rape of Guy's character. I know some people find this funny, but I personally did not.
Thanks for listening.

Hi Meryl! ;D
Right, Right, and Right! I agree with you 200%. If I accidently presumed to speak for the whole group, then I appologize, that was a mistake. I think Meryl you and I have respected each other's points of view, nice to know you Meryl Del Mar..... ;) :D
