Pay particular attention to the second paragraph.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(aficionado)

A fan or supporter is someone who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking of a sporting club, person, group of persons, company, product, work of art, idea, or trend.

In a few cases, individual fans may become so obsessed with the objects of their infatuation that they become fanboys/fangirls. These fans engage in behaviors that are considered extreme or abnormal. This includes idolatry or other forms of worship, such as creating a personal shrine dedicated to the idol at one’s home, and can sometimes extend to the point of the fans become stalkers.

ROFLOL! That's the silliest thing I've ever had posted to me. You can't really have posted that nonsense seriously, can you?

And it's also a sure sign that you have lost the debate and are flailing.

Thanks again for proving I was right.

(btw, I'm a Browns' fan and an Indians fan too............. THINK about it, dearie....... I don't require perfection of those whom I support, nor think that those I support ARE perfect. OY!).
