About dream/reading tags
y-* tags categorize dreams.
For types: beyond the obvious, there are dreamlets (very short dreams), stubs (fragment/outline of a partially-lost dream), gnatter (residual impression of a lost dream).
For characters: there are roles (characters fitting an archetype), symbols (characters as symbols), and sigils (recurring figures with a significance bigger than a single dream's role/symbolism).
x-* tags categorize books.
Material is categorized primarily by structure, style and setting. If searching for a particular genre, look for the defining features of that genre, e.g. x-form:nonfic:bio, x-style:horror, x-setting:dystopian.

Date: 2014-01-30 06:30 am (UTC)From:I guess that's just down to personal preference and my own experience - which is mostly writing about a big online company that screwed people out of their money with a glee that to this day cannot be matched by anyone. I did that for years and from the start I researched and fact-checked just to cover my ass precisely so that when the inevitable company trolls would roll in to call bs and "YOU LIE" I could say, with a clean conscience, "tell me where I lied or did not tell the truth exactly as it is and I will gladly correct that for you". So I guess it's just second-nature to me now.
Blogging about things in general is more casual by nature and does not normally require due diligence. I'll admit that. I don't always do it myself - I leave people to find the truth on their own with some of my posts (but if they do bother to dig, I don't leave them wanting; I'll base what I say on the truth while avoiding specifics that'll just push me into a corner before I've lined up proper resources). So I guess my gripe was you were very specific and when I'm that specific I'll handle it differently or I won't be that specific at all.
I'm not trying to have a tone argument with you or tear you or your post down over tone: I have a tone so ranty and crotchety of my own there are times in calmer moments when I read my own DW that I practically need to cover my ears for what I can hear jumping off my pages at me. I'm simply saying the way I inferred your tone on this post was as misanthropic and it rubbed me the wrong way. I subscribed to you (and that was a long time ago, too) because your tone was something I enjoyed and a tone I used myself long before I ran across your DW. So we had that in common. It's just that this time that tone got twisted into what I felt was a merciless, totally obnoxious, unkind POV and that's when I decided to step back and re-assess.
I don't have the same reaction as you do as a consumer, sorry.
