However, if I've read your comment right, you've just said that some reviewers used the anonymity of Tossed to take out personal grudges against other authors
wow. no, you read that about as wrong as possible, actually. i said other people took the opportunity to rake a few fans over the coals after those fans publicly stated they had been part of cot_tossed. the coal-rakers were just using those fans' involvement with cot_tossed as a convenient excuse to attack them. so, pretty much the exact opposite of what you're trying to make it look like i said.
As does pointing out that what you've said under your own name isn't half as rough as what happened when anons got unmasked.
like i said, i am not a BNF, and yet i still have managed to get a grudgey fanwriter who's following me across media. someone who is known to most of LJ fandom, giving their honest opinions of the show, fic, fandom, etc. is a hell of a lot more likely to get grudgey people following them around or attacking them. just because i wouldn't necessarily go anon personally to review fic doesn't mean that no one else could ever have a good reason to do so. i'm not a fan of all the anon stuff happening in fandom right now, but i'm not going to tell people that because i've experienced fandom in one way they're obliged to experience it that way too.
