i don't like to see KATG fans fight with each other, but i think people take internet stuff to seriously.
it's funny when i see people get upset over a mis-read of a post. things you want to say don't always translate well when they are typed-out and if someone interprets it wrong, things can get out of control, fast.
i also think there is a bit of exclusivity with some forum regulars that creates antagonistic responses. in some ways, it discourages people from being more active or going to live events and meet-ups. (like that one guy wrote in about) or conversely, i guess it also encourages others to go to these things so they can be more a part of the group.
and finally, i think people get too carried away with the transition from listener, to forum follower, to keith and chemda real-life bff. once you cross the threshold and become a part of the show (in any way big or small) you need to expect the more anonymous folks to treat you like a character and not a real person. the transition back to defending yourself on the forums like a normal person is a futile effort. remember, "it's just the internet"
