Fate, And The Complications Therin

[Nique]

I think Door Mat's point was not that they find the concept distasteful or fearsome, but that it is a ridiculous notion that is used to excuse what would otherwise be a massive plot-hole in fiction. At least that's what it sounded like. This doesn't really have anything to do with your discussion, it's just I'm not sure you're interpreting his post completly accuratley.
