The comments are largely coming from the Sheppard, Mckay friendship thread strangely enough. One of them posts on that thread and the Mckay/Sheppard slash thread. So I've seen slashers not happy with the way John's treating Rodney.

I'm thinking well tptb are writing two heterosexual men who are friends. Not two men who are sexually attracted to each other. They're different relationships. Although while I prefer the friendship I could see the slash side a little.

I've seen the comment from fans thinking tptb are trying to get rid of the slash ideas for the Daniel/Jack fans too. Things like "they're put so far from each other in every scene." "They never sit next to each other" or "They never stand next to each other." "Sam's always standing between them." I'm just waiting for "Weir's always standing between John and Rodney"
