It's hard to get past the shipping wars that nearly wrecked the fandom back when seasons 6 and 7 were on the air. Some of us have long memories.

It's unfortunate that the new shippers are tainted as a result of what has gone before. But neither side seems to want to admit that they helped shape the current climate.
