Yo.

Not to get too away from the topic, but I'll respond to you here instead of the hang-out, just to be less confusing.

I'm just used to 'fluff' being used as a derogative term by people who dislike details -- considering we had a discussion recently about people thinking stuff is 'detail-porn', you already know how I feel about that sort of perspective. Since whether or not certain details are good - or are wanted - is entirely subjective, referring to them as things like 'filler' or 'padding' isn't all that mature in my eyes; however, I'm pretty much used to people using the term 'fluff' in this context too -- the fact that you use it in less of a derogative sense is fair enough, but I'm not used to it.
