You! Out of my 'Ship! Out of my Fandom!

Based on this post.
Now, for those of you who don't know me and Slayers, I am a tradshipper (I ship Lina/Gourry and Zelgadis/Amelia -- I also treat Zel like the fandom bicycle he is and enjoy half a dozen bizarre ships with him in it, but that isn't really that relevant). I don't care much for the Lina/Zelgadis ship -- aside from the fact Lina/Gourry is nearly an unbreakable ship for me, I honestly think LIna and Zelgadis would kill one another were they anything more than good friends. And, heck, Lina/Zelgadis shippers do have a reputation for being a bit rabid and a bit crazy in the tradshipping community -- probably because most of the ones we see are the ones who bash Amelia and/or flame tradshippers.
BUT, deliberately baiting Lina/Zelgadis shippers by writing a Zelgadis/Amelia story, writing a misleading summary that makes it sound like it's Lina/Zelgadis, then posting to
ameliazellove community, crowing over this and hoping you get death threats...? Please get off my side -- you are making my side look about five years old. Seriously, I thought the whole shipping war thing was so five years ago...
I hope she gets ignored.
