Well, considering this post of Dex's was prompted by a discussion arising from a rather resentful comment regarding comicverse treatment of movieverse writers in the earlier thread on the CBFFAs... I think his question of "Why do you feel ghettoized? Where is this coming from?" probably was partly translatable as "What the heck did we do?!" Especially since the CBFFAs and OTL involve roughly the same subset of fanficcers, or are supposed to.

Thus the taking-personally. Perhaps this goes back to your point about any given group assuming itself to be "the fanfic community."
