Seriously, though, I generally find that the division applies pretty well to lots of areas of life, including fandom. People in either camp may sympathize with and even understand, to some degree, representatives of the other, but their gut draws them more forcefully to one particular side.
I think this is probably true. Having posted online for almost three years now - I've noticed a trend in the who agrees and disagrees with each other - it really does seem to be broken down along those lines. Having met several of the posters in person or spoken with them on other topics? I see a similar split. No matter what we dicuss, if one is post-structuralist and one is structuralist - a disagreement will arise when the conversation touches on that issue. In fact I've seen people agree...then suddenly vehemently disagree - right when they hit a topic that deals with structuralism vs. post. Interesting.
