I divide rabid fans into two groups. The first group just love something a lot and are very enthusiastic about it and while I may get a little tired of hearing about it it does not bug me or make me dislike what they are enthusiastic about. They accept that other people may not be as into as they are and may not even like it.
The second type are the ones that make me grind my teeth. They get angry if you don't agree with them they are just unpleasant and have turned me off the thing that they love so much.
On one of the shows I watch channel a main character was killed off several years ago. The rabid nutters to this day still moan and complain about it and still feel the need to tell us how they no longer watch the show and hope it will be canceled. They rage on the replacement character and how that actor can't act. I used to like the character that was killed off and I used to be okay with the idea that they might bring her back. Not anymore I hope they never bring her back.
On the flip side of the coin I often find anti fans of something just as annoying maybe more. They feel the need to let everyone know all the time how much they hate something and find any excuse to bash the fans of it. They see a thread and feel the need to come in and just be an asshat.
