like derailing, but deauthoring?

[kaigou]

Per this brilliance from facetofcathy and especially this comment thread at the bottom, I have to ask: has anyone done a list of the authorial versions of derailing when it comes to fanfick and fanficken? As in, "some of my best friends write fanfic" and "the removal of fair use as a defensible argument hurts you, but what about my pain?" kind of rhetoricals. Anyone?

Generally, whenever I hear someone use any variant of the "I have friends who are..." line, I think of Sam Vimes when turning down a bribe of jewelry. "That's nice. Everyone should have nice things."
