[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 377238, member: 231"] Not critiquing Big Daddy Buzz, but feeling the need to start a thread titled this way indicates how there has been an influx of insane fans on these bball pages. Really bizarre. I know "insane fans" is redundant. Fans are fanatics by definition. I just have never understood how that fanaticism gets so easily displayed [B][I]publicly [/I][/B]in a pessimistic and negative direction on fan boards. The psychology of [I]positive [/I]exuberance being displayed publicly makes more sense to me. The opposite naturally exists, but I do wish it wouldn't be made public because it actually is counter-productive to the good of a program; thereby, making the fandom of the person seem false. (And that last clause leads to the endless round and rounds of "you aren't a real fan," "who are you to say who a real fan is?" "rabble rabble rabble"). Pretty soon the Swarm is the Hive or Stingtalk. [/QUOTE]
