MSi... always good to see you! 
Happy Birthday to your grandson!
I like the OFC just fine. People are people and they are entitled to have and express their opinions - even if they are, by someone else's measure, harsh. I have no problem reading through what people think. Apparently, neither does Clay, as he has set the moderating rules in place and minimal changes in that rule base have changed. I guess I have a thick skin or something because I can't imagine a message board being depressing. It's just thoughts. I don't have to agree with them to find them interesting. Not to say I don't roll my eyes at some of those thoughts, but they surely don't depress me. Seriously, some people like a debate and a squabble as much as a joke or a laugh. Makes the world go 'round.
I am just as easy about MY fandom as I am about Clay I suppose. I don't care if he blogs... well, I do care. I'd like it if he did. But I'm not reading my OFC contract to see if he's fulfilling his stated obligations or anything. Logically, it's true. His Fan Club is a business that I paid money for, but I'm not a tough consumer. Irritates people sometimes, but that's just the way I am. Can't be bothered to get my dander up over it.
Now, THE fandom... that's a different story. I think we're all nuts, with a few individuals leading the pack by a long haul.
Hee. jbj... how did I know you'd like the LONG thread!?!
*Ponders other ways to lure lurkers out of the woodwork*
Off to dinner. My brother turned 16 the other day.
Ohhhh... hair? This hair looks mighty lush and fingerable to me...

Didn't Clay say 'supercalifragilisticexpialidocious' on that AFI greatest songs special?

What a wonderful thing to do. Freckle Twin...you rock. 
Holy crap!! Honestly, I really think I could get through a meet and greet in one piece...but Clay singing to me and holding my hand...I'm not so sure. I'm so glad you survived. And what a great to end your concerts.
