If someone posts like this in their Live Journal, it's their statement.
They're opening a discussion -- not laying down rules, not demanding anyone else follow them, not telling other people what to think.
Anyone who thinks that any hard-and-fast rules are coming out of this is loopy. Most fans can't agree on the brand of soda pop at a dinner party; the thought of restricting someone else's behavior (especially on the Net) is ridiculous.
Personally, I agree with Nea's take on RPS/RPfic. Find it repugnant -- I'd click it away if it crossed my path. I suspect a lot of actors might feel themselves violated if they ran across it without some understanding of "what it is."
