Response #3 [AO3 meta]

For those of you just joining us, here's a roughly chronological timeline of the posts with links:

 

1. Sachehund's initial post about the OTW, and the follow-up that makes the link between the OTW and AO3. (One link because both posts are on that page.)
2. My post, outlining why I chose to wipe my AO3 account (and also a response to/echoing of Sachehund's follow-up post).
3. Anne Apocalypse's call for opinions.
--There are several reblog opinions off of Anne's post that I'd suggest reading to get a broader view of the perspectives of the situation. All the ones I've read have brought up valid points, a lot of which I hadn't thought of.
4. My response to the responses to Anne's post, which is mostly clarifying my position and directly responding to some of the points brought up.
5. Sachehund's addition to my post.
6. meinterrupted's posts. (They were posted on Tumblr and Dreamwidth, but I'm just liking the DW ones for simplification.) The first one is a more general counter post to Sachehund and me, the second one is a response to Sachehund's response to me.
7. Sachehund's post about meinterrupted's cross-posts to DW and the conversation(s) going on there.
8. EDIT: myinterrupted's response to Sachehund's post, which I missed.
9. This post, also a response to meinterrupted.

 

Cut for length.
