after the the atmosphere has cooled down from the back to back ' experiments ' I felt it's time we answered certain questions;

" Why do fans act crazy and get so worked up when their favourite actor/show is criticized/bashed... don't they have a life? " ...

the above is one of those millions of questions that the 'scientists' have and the cause for carrying out the un-called-for experiments.

well my friends if the concepts of love and trust were to be simple then the answers to those questions wouldn't be any lesser than that.

for instance, While tidying up your room, your mum picks up your favourite toy and throws it aside ,why do you run to save it? . Why do we get worked up when our siblings tease our best friend or simply a good friend ? ...why do we lose our cool when someone picks on something/someone dear to us? . Is it because they make us superior in anyway?..is it because it provides us with valuables, materialistic for that matter . the answer is a Big NO . It's simply because THEY give us HAPPINESS. They somehow make us feel good and that is enough for us to get attached to it. It's something very PERSONAL to us.. because it's WE who choose to like it. it's WE who find it to be a comfort-provider. Hence , it just feels so personal to one.

And when someone seems to be harming it one tends to get riled up.. it's all natural u see.. WE are ATTACHED to something.. WE jump to battle it up when something goes against it. In the same way..there are ppl who get attached to things like a TV serial or Actors who don't even know they exist ,merely because WE like it/him/her . It's our personal choice.

coming to the mannerism in which some fans react to the 'scientists'
..there are some things which i really feel should be avoided by a fan :
1. NAME-CALLING: I have noticed this alot, even when the TM doesn't name-call anyone the fans get so annoyed that they resort to name-calling. using words like b**** etc. isn't gonna get u anywhere , even offensive words like idiot,fool etc should be avoided ..it just makes things ugly .

2. " you are just JEALOUS of her/him ! " - this very phrase is so annoying that even i feel frustrated now. i mean SERIOUSLY?!...why will they be jealous ?!... we have got to stop making such immature allegations !

3. PERSONAL-ATTACKS: the nastiest ones!
hate it! hate it! when the argument reaches to this!
makes me go - "Why did I even begin?"
guys..i know it comes from the other side as well , but we have to UP our level of tolerance !
plzz don't resort to such practices.
and especially don't start unless they start it!

these are a few things which i badly wanted to say regarding the "Experiments" ..hope they have a read of this before they put on their lab coats again .

p.s: plzz guys SHARE ur reasons and ur views regarding this matter..
p.p.s: eventhough this has been put up in RR forum it's a more GENERAL DISCUSSION.

plzz stick to healthy discussion only. don't reply to negative ones. I want this thread to stay open.

ppps : certain terms have been use instead of the word 'bashers' . they don't mean any kind of offence to any1.

My view is when u don't like someone why bash him/her just to hurt their fans' sentiments !?! It's absolutely SICK ..

And there is always a polite way to present ur opinion !!
But certain people lack the basic manners !

And don't forget online bashing and being outright rude and obnoxious to family members of the actors to make a point in the name of fandom or moral righteousness. Its the graciousness of these actors and families that tolerate it politely and go on with their lives . Typical "ignore the bully"syndrome tille they feel the need to "confront the bully"
