Yeah ... I think anyone who's disturbed enough to be tipped over the edge into doing actual harm by fannish talk on the Internet is already disturbed enough that something else would be the catalyst if this didn't do it. But having said that, I am really bothered by the level of personal vitriole towards the creator that I've been seeing on some people's blogs. I appreciate that fans get deeply invested, but it's a TV show for god's sake. I've had my favorite characters killed off before, and some of my favorite shows, or books I've really enjoyed up 'til the end, have ended in horrible traumatizing ways, but it never made me want to do harm to the person behind the story. I can't really fathom that reaction, to be honest.
