Yeah, I don't know what to do about the booting out thing. I've only been in the fandom since January 2011. From my point of view, more blame goes to the nanny comm for c/ping in the first place. If they let others alone, none of this would happen. At least that's how I see it from my limited perspective. I'm really sorry you were kicked out. You're right, it doesn't seem to help, does it? The asshole is still there or will get in somehow.
Some people like to act like bullies, that's all. They get their jollies by being nasty in public (and anonymously if they can) to some other person. It's just classic schoolyard bullying. I pity them in a way. They are actually more hateful than the people who dislike Sauli - and I'm someone who actively dislikes him, although I realize many of my friends like him, so they don't need to see me disliking him.
I love Adam and his music, and not surprisingly he is going to go astray now and then, so I worry about him. Then I remember that nothing I do will change anything about his life. My worrying won't make his CDs sell LOL. So I just want to enjoy the fandom in various aspects, and I plan to continue to do that.
The only thing I'm totally against is sending stuff directly to the celebrities involved. This is fandom so leave them out of it. They did nothing to deserve having hate sent to them.
The mean nonnies could be argued to have the biggest hand in this problem, and believe me I'm not defending their actions, but like the old saw goes, two wrongs don't make a right. Lashing out at others when you're hurt may be human nature, but it's not a nice thing to do. I think it's a slippery slope to start down the path of saying what that person/group is doing is worse than what that person/group is doing, if what any of them are doing is hurting other people.
All of us can only be responsible for our own behaviors. I give Adam the respect to make his own choices - god knows he could give two shits about what my opinion(or any other fan's) is of his personal relationships, nor should he. It's his life, we've all got our own to be getting on with.
You're right, it's not worth saying one is worse than the other. It's just that I feel some people are defending the nannies. That could be my mistake. When we read something, we bring our own baggage with us, and it affects how we understand what we read.
It's his life, we've all got our own to be getting on with. Amen to that.
