I was responding to someone else's observation with my own observation. Yet because mine doesn't align with your beliefs you go on and on about it. Personal observations aren't worth shite in the scheme of things - a handful of untrained testimonials is no way to conduct social science which requires a far larger sample so as to avoid induce observer bias that often happens when sharing single personal stories of anyone considered 'other'.

However, this IS a message board where people do talk about personal experience and much can be learned from that if you're aware enough to separate the wheat from the chaff. Personal experience while valuable shouldn't be used to draw conclusions about any particular group. If someone's not aware of that then that's really not my problem - plenty of people here buy into the stereotypes of various fan bases based on a story here or there but if they're educated they should know better. If not, we'll deal with it when it arises but the fault lies with the person believing the stereotype not the victim and/or fan base being stereotyped.
