I mean, when I first got the angry comments from AO3 users, I was pissed off an up-in-arms about it. (But I think that was mainly the fault of the commenters tone - and also the fact that they really had no right to tell me how to use the site, since there was no mention that meta wasn't allowed in the TOS).
But, after writing to AO3 and receiving emails about it from them, I wasn't really angry anymore...I'm perfectly respectful of whatever decision they come to. It's their site and their decision, and I CAN see the argument for not allowing meta just as much as I can see the argument for allowing it.
So, it feels sort of funny to have started the discourse even though I'm not rage-shouting about it. Usually this sort of discourse is started by people who are much angrier than I am. :P
