So what I'm trying to describe is a stagnation of language then? Like Newspesk, only it's not the number of words being cut down, it's the number of possible meanings that exist. Or something. I think it's just all parinoia though.
While I've never gotten all the way though of Stargate, and Snow Crash is on my reading list, I've been looking at the Quebec language laws. Which while their logic hurts my brain, I want to go there with the US English Only brigad to show them what comes of language policing.
While I wasn't part of the MST3K community when the ban went though - I joined sometime around November/December of that year - I do remeber the ban, and hurridly trying to archive fics.
I think FF.Net is trying to bend overbackwards to avoid being sued, and is just succededing in making their userbase angry. Like this complete nonsense on how they had to switch to a diffrent rating system, as the one that FF.Net was using before is owned by the motion picture association. So, IMHO, it's outside forces trying to control the fans by way of FF.Net - only it doesn't work.
