I admit freely that I like Richie but even I can't handle some of that shit. On most of the sites that I see that are set up specifically for Jon or Richie, it's pretty clear that logic or objectivity has no place there and woe be unto the person who dares to suggest that their HERO (whichever it is) is less than perfect.

That's not prejudice. You said it yourself, "SOME" Richie fans, not ALL. It's true, some Richie fans are totally nuts and actually think like that. Just as some Jon fans do the same thing. Prejudice would be saying that all of them do it, but of course that's not the case! Now, I can't speak for them, but just like I am on their fan pages, they could be there too. I've seen crap posted on pages that I've been following for a while. I didn't start following them with the intention of having a safe madhouse to vent my irrationality, but simply out of admiration for the people I'm a fan of. If other people on the page happen to be idiots, I can only do good by trying and improve the overall quality of the page's posts. Mind you, nowadays I ignore a whole lot of more stuff. In the distant past, I would bring myself headaches over shit I read.

Not surprised in the least, actually. I walk that same line you do. I just have one foot on the Richie side, whereas you have on foot on Jon's.

You probably won't believe me, but this wasn't aimed at you. I know you can be objective (at least when you want!).

Sure thing.
And I have nothing against emoticons, I actually couldn't live without them! You don't see me using many, because for some reason they just don't come as natural to me here. But I usually do, a lot. I didn't like the emoticon last time, because I perceived it as an attempt to somehow be patronizing or ambiguous... you get the picture. This time, all is good and well!
