    I don't think I am a fanatic...I adore Lilia, I really love her (in a non-gay way) but I couldn't bring myself to vote for her this series with Dom. :o

    You are the kind of fanatic people can live with;) I like Lilia too but didn't vote for her this time.

    I think sometimes the pros attract more fanatics than the celebs - it's hard not to get attached over the series, whereas celebs come and go.

    That said, yet to vote for a celeb I thought was a bit pants just because I liked the dancer... can't be too far gone :o :eek: *wry grin*

    At what point does liking a particular celeb/zeleb or pofessional become very close to the wild-eyed Jacko fan, releasing doves?

    I have noticed that some threads/supporters etc will literally not hear a bad word about either "their" pro or "their" star. It is quite funny when some even respond to any comment about "their" person.

    What I think is more worrying, is those who take a hate against a particular person. It's frightening to read some of the posts.

    I suppose the celebs can be fairly well protected as they don't really meet the gp on a one to one, but can't help wonder if the dancers could be in danger.

    Hmmm, I think that obsession either way is dangerous. Whoever you like or don't like, we all have to accept that the professional or the cel-zeleb are human and fallible. They can, will and do make mistakes. It is so scary when a very obvious fault, mistake, or error is defended, or posters attacked for mentioning it.

    Not thinking that kelly, Alisha, Matt etc, or their Pro's are perfect doesn't make anyone a hater. Being attacked for an opinion may, hwever, have that affect.

    Anyone who cannot differentiate between someone being human, with all that entails or seeing "their" person as somehow uberhuman or a deity has crossed the line - imo, of course.
