A couple of people I know participated in the initial discussion that got some yahoo to start this thing up. One friend of mine just said that she does worry about desensitizing, and because she works in a DA's office she sees a lot of terrible things she can't romanticize or turn off her brain about when reading fic. She did NOT advocate censorship, just said that callous treatment of incest or rape or whatever in stories disturbed her and that she wished people would give it more thought.
This blacklist "person" thought that meant endorsement of its position, so added this friend (and a whole bunch of other people) to its friendslist without permission--which meant that other people who didn't know the deal assumed they were in on it and agreed with it, which opened them up to a lot of flaming and harrassment.
