I don't think either of you said anything out of turn, you just disagree with one another. :)
I'm torn on the issue, to be honest. On the one hand, it would be nice to work out plotting issues freely, and to have a place to do that. On the other, knowing what I'm like, if I saw someone else do it and I thought it sounded a little like something I was working on, I wouldn't write my story. I really like posting my WIPs here, because the majority of people that comment on my work are here anyway! But ultimately, I think people will brainstorm on the group, and it should be interesting to see the development of ideas, the way they bounce between people and grow into something more like a finished story. :)
