I belong to two forums, one is for a band and the other is an actor. The band one pretty much moderates itself, the other one can get rather heated at times and it is all usually about the actors girlfriend. So I think it just goes with the territory.

My personal feeling is if you call yourself a fan of a person then you should just be happy that they are happy but unfortunately it does not seem to work like that. I think that it is because a lot of these very possesive fans are unhappy in their own lives so they build so much into the fandom and live through that.

Just try not to respond, as someone has already said the internet gives people the power to say things that they would not in real life.
