I haven't really been "fighting tooth and nail" either. I think a lot of people started building the ship pretty early - and getting pretty excited about it - so I simply pointed out several factors that could have very reasonably (and still could, for that matter) keep the ship from ever leaving port. Now I have just been sitting back and watching to see how it plays out.
I know, if a person is predisposed to shipping - as a lot of people seem to be - it's hard to resist the urge at the first hint of some kind of attraction. But I wanted to put the other side of it out there as sort of a "don't say I didn't warn you" if the shippers turn out to be wrong. I'm not against it, by any means, but I try not to get my hopes up. If you get your hopes too high, it ends up a long drop if it doesn't come true.

I've been waiting for the resolution to this particular situation for some time, but am content to have it unfold as the creator desires. But I specifically came to this forum to hear what other readers think. So far I'm pretty impressed with the civility and diversity of comments, but I do find it distressing when folks post about how they want other people to approach the subject.

There's nothing wrong with discussing... say Marten and Claire's relationship. Its current, its established and its got what people like, cutesy feels.
The problem stems more from the creepy side of shipping. Like the people who try to ship characters that are either not ready for a relationship or not compatible for a relationship. For example, anyone with Hanners. Hanners is a fantastic character, but her own problems has hampered her potential for relationships, to a point where she may never have a "normal" relationship. Look at how significant it was for her to give your own father a hug for his birthday. Its a major part of her character (although that could change given her bus trip) and its generally agreed that no one ships Hanners, because it just gets very creepy very quickly.
