GethN7 Wrote:why they hate tropers/troping so much and feel its so worthy of scorn
That's pretty much the thing that's been bugging me about their criticism of TVT, ATT, and the like: I don't exactly understand why a website about tropes and the community surrounding it could be the target of such scorn(1), and would like to hear the reasons for that. I'll admit that I don't have the will to go in there and ask (however innocently) those questions, an I'm pretty sure I'll get flamed out of there lickety-split. If anyone else wants to try to prove me wrong on that and get some kind of relatively civilized conversation going on that subject, then I would really appreciate hearing the responses, and see what their ideas should be on what a troping website should be like. Of course, ATT likely won't use their suggestions, but I would recommend that they ought to try their own hand at running a website about tropes based on their ideas for it, and see how that turns out. Who knows, maybe it could make for another competitor to TVT and ATT...
(1) Okay, so there could be certain...elements...of the community that tend to be rather bad apples, so to speak. But I'm a believer in the idea that the strength of a community can be gauged by how well it handles the effects of its darker sections. In ATT's case, I would like to see its community be able to handle potential problems with relatively minimal drama (unlike what happened with TVT.).
On a different, and somewhat more lighthearted tangent:

You know, that'd make for one hell of a Crossover That Should Not Be!
