Adding my 2 cents to the "suggested fan behavior" comments. I think Durbin is getting way too much mileage out of all this. I get the creepy feeling that a lot of his so-called fans are some of the original Adam haters and it's more about "beating" Adam again than about JD being all that ('cause try as I can, I sure don't see it) I know the interviewers are trying to stir up controversy or hits or something, but I would like to see GNAFL fans ignore them. Take the "go away kid, you bother me" attitude. Or simply post gifs like this Nuf said! I'm always amazed at just how many Adam "haters" are Durbin fans, esp on this other board I post on. It's amusing really. I agree with ignoring it. James is hardly worth the effort.

I wonder if they are really Durbin fans, or are they just glomming onto this guy in some stupidly hateful way of trying to hurt Adam. :-/

JMHO on the issues brought up above. If Adam lurks anywhere besides Twitter, it’s probably articles about himself. And it’s hard for me to see the craziness and negativity and fanwars run amok there sometimes. I usually don’t look, because it makes me miserable. Hopefully, Adam has forcefields up when he reads. In terms of what I tweet, Adam will never hear anything from me that isn’t positive and encouraging (and sometimes silly). I sure wish that other fans would do the same, but I have no delusions of being able to control them. I don’t spend my time on Twitter telling other people what to do, and simply unfollow people who tweet in a manner I find unpleasant. I don’t often look at Adam’s @ replies because I don’t need the heartburn. As for what is on a fan forum like this, I see it as a place where people who love and appreciate Adam can come together to speculate, daydream, flail over the good stuff, and have discussions over the not-so-good stuff. There will be negative press, and I’d rather discuss that openly and get different perspectives, rather than ignore it or fret over it in silence. It helps me process by talking things through and reading what other people think. What do I know, right? but I think Adam would be cool with that. If he lurks here, and I don’t think he does, he’d see a place that is filled with love for him, and also filled with people who are open to learning from each other and a free exchange of ideas. That being said, beating dead horses or working ourselves into fits over things we can’t change is hardly useful. And usually there’s someone who can gently steer us in a different direction. I’m putting my own forcefields up, because I think we’ll be dealing with the Durbin thing for a while. AI may be over soon, but he'll be doing press all through the Idol tour, and now that they've manufactured this drama, he'll be asked about it constantly, I'm sure.

We may be looking at the same "other board", Wonderstruck. I am certain that some of the JD boosters there have been long-time anti-anything Adam. >:( I admit I was/am happy to see Adam outsell Kris because it was such a bummer for him to lose, but I actually don't dislike Kris. These guys really seem to hate Adam. I don't want to feel that way about JD. I don't really want to think about him at all. He shouldn't even be in our radar IMHO. :-/ ETA: You're right, NoAngel. Interviewers aren't going to let this go easily, and this should be our safe place to make our WTF? comments -better here than giving those yahoos hits. I like it when negative articles are posted here in a way that the original poster doesn't get any more hits ....but I can still read them.

I wanted to drop in to say that I'm sorry to have been part of the angst team yesterday. I usually am not an angster (if there is such a word). Not that I am always able to be zen [still workin' on it] I usually am : about most gates and such. Somehow, I just got really annoyed. However, I understand the cumulative effect is not pretty. So as a peace offering, I bring one of my favorites

I agree. I want to know what is out there and what is being said. I want to know who is saying it, so I don't have to click on it. I refuse to angst over stupidity. However, I do think a scroll alert should be added so people are aware what they are clicking on.
We all have stuff we aren't interested in and I definitely scroll some days. This is an Adam forum and if it is about Adam, it can be posted and discussed.
