Your result for The Fan Fiction Personality Test...
The Mindgamer
Everything is possible, nothing is ever really over.
Fanfiction is a creative outlet for you. You don't intentionally write it, it just happens. You find inspiration in several fandoms, but are not obsessed with only one.
You like to explore "what if" situations. What if this character had never made this very choice? What if this event had taken place sooner, never, elsewhere? What if these people had never met?
You are likely to write Alternative Universes, fan seasons or sequels and just follow your (sometimes pretty strange) plot bunnies.

On the other hand, I'd never tell someone else what to say - especially in their own journal. I wouldn't in public forums either. Maaaaaaybe if they said something offensive in comments in my own journal I'd speak up. It kind of shocks me the way so many fannish people think they have the right to tell other people what to do.
If I felt that someone was using a word and just plain didn't know the impact they were having with it, I might email them privately to explain - in case they were interested, in case they cared. They might appreciate the info.

I think I would definitely say something to someone if they commented on my own journal, but in someone else's journal it depends a lot of who is the person I'm talking to. I thought they would be receptive to it (and was obviously wrong).
Possibly as you say, I underestimated how much people consider that they can say what they want on their own journal - which isn't an illegitimate feeling in itself, especially for something relatively mild like "canon nazi".
Possibly the more private form of comments would work better!
