Comment on OTW Board response to concerns about the meta decision

    I can't make heads or tails of why the anon is arguing with you here either. Unless it's a knee-jerk "person praising something about AO3 tagging = must be an apologist for all the other concerns about the AO3 being raised in this post" reaction.

    (Either that, or Overly Aggressive Anon has migrated out from FFA...)

    1. Don't get me wrong, but wasn't the errr... "Overly Aggressive Anon" (intriguing epithet!) the person who praised Ao3's tagging structure and the person (Carmarthen) you're currently replying to, the one who said they weren't a fan?

      *honestly a bit confused*

        Both of them have had a mix of praise and criticism! (Anon: "I find FF.net's pure site functionality way better, definitely....I do love AO3's tagging a LOT, don't get me wrong"; Carmathen "FFN does some things better than AO3, but AO3 does other things far better".) And both have talked about specific, individual tagging functionalities that work for their needs.

        Which is why it's so weird that the anon jumped to "I don't think that means that...[the AO3] doing those certain things well, is enough excuse to not do other things well", when both of them have said "the AO3 does certain things well" -- and neither has said "that's an excuse not to do other things well."
