Adam and Kris are friends... you don't have to like either of their music, but if you like someone THAT MUCH...(like dress your children in head to toe glitter much) whouldn't you think spending all day bashing the people that they are close to would be a really really awful thing to be doing with your life?
I think these nutjobs think Adam's friendship with Kris is misguided and an aberration. Also, Adam has never discouraged these people much from fanwarring or other OTT behavior.
Re the blog. I think it's tough to monitor a blog that size without going insane. She'd be banning and moderating people all day.. she's probably already doing that.
She knows the usual offenders. I don't think it would be difficult to let them know their behavior is unwelcome, or to discourage it.
It's also easier to be nicer when your guy wins -- but then I just look at the bitter-berts as poor people who can't see that Adam is doing just fine. They are also socially inept and really just kind of mean.
I don't know if I agree with all of this, though I agree with the last part of it!
I know you've said before that it's easier to be nicer when your guy wins. But I don't really think that's why Kris's fans are nicer. For one thing, Adam has been treated like the winner, in a lot of people's estimation. So I doubt it's easier to be nicer when your guy wins but the other guy gets the glory.
I don't think they're nicer because it's easier, actually. If you ask me, if Adam had won, his obnoxious fans would have been about the same, probably even more so. Sore losers are often also sore winners. Do you think they would have been nicer if he won? I don't see these people as being nice in any circumstance.
I just think the Kris fans, at least on that blog, are nice. I think Kris tends to attract a certain type of fan. Since he's not an agressive, in your face, obnoxious kind of person, he would never attract that kind of poster. I don't think if Kris had lost, these same people would have been the equivalent of bitterberts.
I have to question your theory that the bitterberts' meanness stems from worry that Adam is not doing fine. Do you really think insecurity about Adam's career progress is behind their Kris-bashing? I don't. They seem overly confident that Adam is the greatest thing ever and that the world loves him.
I tend to agree it's insecurity. But just their own. I think they sound like insecure and scared people who need to act out. Socially inept is right.
