When have the fans alone started multipage drama over something?
I didn't say it was the fans alone. I said it's the haters'
and the fans' fault.
When a pony hater attacks a pony fan, then it's fan's fault for not ignoring the posts and then attacking the hater back. Which results in a merry-go-round of flaming. The situation can be reversed, though, like a pony fan posting ponies outside of the pony thread and then the person attacks the pony fan.
So both are 50% at fault for attacking each-other.
