Chica, I know you're both busy with very important RL stuff. I told Val as much. I was making an observation from where I'm sitting--on the other side of the continent.

And you might not have been "in" on-line fandom, but you wrote fic and wrote reviews (on-line fan activity), and on-line is how we primarily communicate.

It's not what they're doing with Cas that's bothering me, because yes, it's got very interesting ramifications from a believer's point of view, and I've been where Cas is (though not, obviously, to that magnitude)--doing something I know in my heart isn't right, and thinking I can control the situation, and having it end as painfully and disastrously as I feared.

When I wrote that, I was more freaked out about what it appears they're going to do to Lisa and Ben.
