I am hesitant to say this, because I don't want to start any fighting, but there is something I have to say. I think we on the DC fansites should really reflect on our own posting behavior, and take a close look as to whether or not we are actually enabling the stalking.

Yes, we can have a thread like this one where we strongly condemn what we feel is deviant behavior. We can congratulate each other when we respectfully interact with David when we are lucky enough to meet him.

But how many times have we also read word for word someone's story about how they managed to meet David or one of the band members, even when that story might be over the line? How often have we expressed jealousy over people who can go to 3, 5, 15 concerts? How often have we shut down even constructive criticism of David, thereby sending the message that only unadultered admiration of him is allowable? How often have we objectified him, thereby sending the message that he isn't truly another human being?

These are elements of the fandom that give me pause, personally, and I would like to encourage open discussion of them in light of David's blog.
