Oh dear! You certainly can't be held responsible if you're writing from a reader/writer's perspective and I'm reading from a reader's perspective. As I guessed, I was missing your nuance. :)
I wasn't aware that there was any pressure at all to label something with UST - or with anything else. Personally, I'd rather that a writer labels a story with what she intends it to be rather than practicing defensive labeling. She can judge by her feedback, perhaps, whether she was successful in conveying her intentions...but really? I'm just thankful for a writer who labels her fic.
