Yes, I completely agree with what you say. It's not easy or simple. It is subjective. In an ideal world we can say "each reader or writer will find the groups and rec lists that best help them find what they enjoy" - the sad part (at least for me) is when I see posts that say "I only read authors in _____ archive or rec'd by ________" or even worse, "if they are not on_____ then they're not any good." This limited type of thinking makes me cringe. Of course, there's nothing I can do about it. So I'm not upset or insulted if reccers or comm mods don't like my writing. Hey, that's their choice and opinion. All valid. All good. I'm just saddened when mob mentality takes over and legends are born. But you're right - there's no perfect world and no easy answer.

BTW I still am hypnotized whenever I see your icon;)
