You don't get the positive spin much?
I almost never hear positive spin. I know why I like it, and why I stay, but it seems that there's always someone being driven crazy by fandom and it's 'stupidity' - which they have every right to be. I just sometimes wonder why they stay if it irritates them so much and this caused the realization that, well, probably the same reasons as me. XD We like to rag on the things we love - can't live with it, can't live without it, ya know?

Anything that changes you - makes you come in contact with other ideas and people and makes you move beyond your own little world? Is good in my book. You can be anyone in fandom, but sometimes it's best to be yourself. I mean, bring yourself to the table and watch how people change. It's purely nifty.

Being stuck in neutral is the worse place to be, really. Fandom gives me a chance to explore myself as well as explore other character's potential.
