"There seems to be no good reason for banning the post" Drunken (by author admission) fanfic isn't what people come to LW to read. Multi-layered sarcastic incomprehensible stories that have no discernable point other than mockery aren't helpful.

Sure, there are plenty of sequences that use dialogs, but they are used 1) to make a comprehensible point, and 2) have to show their working and explain the conclusion and why it's applicable.

Fanfiction.net is the place for stuff like the original post.

Yet they upvote it.

EDIT: Well, maybe.

It's impossible to tell now, because presumably people are now voting on the drama, not on the content.
