A lot of the ones who were bitching about me were the most rabid of Rosefen and hated Martha and anyone who liked her or Freema instinctively.

I've been trying to think of what to say to that, but really I have nothing. Loving a character? That's great. Loving a pairing? That's great too. Loving a pairing so much that you decide it's an OTP? Sure, why not? Bashing a different character because you perceive her as somehow interfering with your OTP? That's both silly and disturbing. Bashing a fellow fan because she likes this character you've now decided you detest? That's . . . well, that's where words fail me.
