Well, yes, and you're right, and you're correct and thank you for your
vigilence and I agree with you and Ulrika... but... but... but... fandom
is strong enough to survive being poked in the ribs.  Bimbos otDS didn't
hurt very much, and one filk song isn't going to plunge all fandom into
war.  While there might be misunderstandings, let's not be too thinned
skinned about being parodied.  One of my Rules of Thumb for an
organization in trouble is when they can't take a joke.

To put it another way:  Some of us are above elitism.
