Look at what they did with Andrew last week--didn't anyone else find two women on his arm and a lecture about "change is good" to be repulsively offensive for a character who was this-close-to-textually gay? Yeah there were many a thread about that last week and the issues there in *sigh*
As far as S/A canon stuff: I don't honestly think most of the S/A-ers (at least the ones I know) would say it's canon in the same way that the actual canon ships are, rather it's just the sorta shippy squee *any* shipper group has when their ship has a "moment". We're slashers, not delusional ;) (though I do agree with the fact that ME is showing some pretty wierd double standards RE: Subtext as a joke and the hetting of Andrew *sigh*)
I am sorry that you're not enjoying it any more (which I say in the "I know what's it's like to become majorly disenchanted with something" way and not in the "OMG you are so missing out meep!" way cause that would be tacky and all that) and the website is a burden for you. Though I really do understand *hugs*
