Well, you already know this Haruka, but the reason I started a AAA community on Livejournal was because I've been a member on Livejournal since 2004, and when I'd first fallen in love with AAA, the idea of starting a community in addition to the website we had on Freewebs, was more than appealing! I had such passion for this group and I wanted to share that with everyone! I know my sister and co-admin felt the same way.
Yet the difference is that the person who attacked us doesn't seem to have the same fervent love for the band. In fact, it seems she only cares about the two members she ships together, and any other "love" she tried to profess for the band was forced in an attempt to get other AAA fans to her community, even if it was primarily for her shipping.
AAA for me is like a guilty little pleasure now. But they're not my be-all and end-all. I'm grateful to them, and they've brought me many good memories, in addition to the bad ones here, but I also have so many things I need to focus on in my real life. So they will remain my guilty little pleasure, and the people I get to celebrate and share news and fun about on my community. I'll always support them for as long as they keep going, and even afterwards! But they're not my life, just as you said. So I won't make it such.
In the meantime, I agree. I've met them in person twice now, and they're still not what my life is all about, even if they've played a big part. So I hope those who've merely buzzed about them on the internet (and specifically bothered other fans about them in the process by flaming or spamming or whatever) will come to understand that too.
Besides, I think the thing a lot of people are forgetting is that AAA probably wouldn't want to be associated with any of the problems people have caused in their name.
