Don’t Ever Offend a Fan!

A few weeks back, a fan of Michelle Krusiec was bombarded or should I say, verbally abused by her other fans on the actress’ blogsite. The attack became so bad that I think she was asked to leave the blog. It all started because she posted unnecessarily serious comments about the movie MK starred in.

I accidentally discovered this fan’s blog last night and didn’t realise how bad the situation was until now. Those hateful fans practically stalked her on the blog and fired at her the moment she posted a comment. They even carried their attack into her personal blog and jammed her shoutbox. Gee...never, never antagonise fans!

Anyway, this victim went on and on in MK’s blog about the flaws in the script and also picked on technical areas and how the director could have made it better. To me, it’s all personal comments, very much like coming from a film critic and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Unfortunately, some fans just did not appreciate hers.

Me and two other fans did try to speak up for her and advised everyone to relax, not take things so seriously nor personally. After all, we are all at the blog just to have some crazy fun! This girl did take our advice to relax and carried on with her kind of unwelcome comments! In the end, we too gave up on helping her. How do you help someone who just doesn’t know when to stop inviting trouble? I discovered last night we three were also criticised by her in her blog! She was upset we were not rapped but just given a little warning for flooding the comments box with movie scripts while she, was penalised for her honest comments. Hey! We were not rapped because we were behaving the way fans were expected to be...that is to be crazy!

This fan could have spared herself the agony, anger and ‘trauma’ as she claimed, had she realised she was making comments for the wrong blog. It is after all a fans’ blog and fans being fans, they are illogical beings whom are just overly obsessed with their idol. Honestly, her comments were all right if she posted them in say, a movie discussion board. But to openly pick on a movie the fans love and rave, and can watch repeatedly up to 100 times, she was literally inviting the onslaught on herself.

Those fans who attacked her did go a bit overboard with their insults. They could have just kept quiet and leave her and her comments alone and things wouldn’t have been so bad. Well no. Some just had to voice their unhappiness and the victim had to be defensive and pick a fight so they went ding dong, ding dong, fighting. Well, that’s how wars come about, when people just can’t 忍.

While reading her blog last night, I found that she wasn’t really a big fan of MK. So why was she participating in that blog in the first place? Strange! And a blog that was started not by MK but by a young fan!

For your info, the person victimised happens to be a fellow Singaporean who works as a production manager in a theatre group.

And if you’re wondering how I can be so crazy as to get involved in something so kiddish and even end up being a fan? Well, just for fun lor! You’re welcome to join in the fun at: http://michellekrusiec.blogspot.com
