I think it's like cathexys and I were saying above...there's no problem with somebody just having a casual interest and writing socially and not wanting to "improve" herself or her writing. The problem really only comes if somebody wants to do that *and* be given the praise as if she is doing that. If you look at the original post that started the whole discussion, it elevated writing fic even above trying to write well into a whole spiritual realm of soul-baring and things like that, so it wasn't a case of, "Eh, I'm just not really interested in analyzing the style that much," to "It's holy and sacred and perfect just the way it is and thou shalt not sully it with thoughtless criticism." Which is kind of silly.
