Honestly I find myself cringing and feeling strong second hand embarrassment every time "fandom" rears it's head in a very public forum like a con or confronting an actor. I don't understand the "in your face" mentality. Fandom for me has always been a place to make friends, share enthusiasm, to be creative and enjoy the experience of it all with a live and let live philosophy. I've been in fandom for a long time mostly as a lurker but mainstream acceptance of fandom makes me uncomfortable. Welcome back. :)
