YES, you do have fans like this. Anyone who wrote a post or article this year giving Dogma bad marks was bashed by over-zealous fans. They mean well, but they go too far...
BUT, for every crazed fanboy that beats up on your critics there are just as many "Smith-haters" who write posts and articles that go too far, as well. Remember OliverTwisty? There's lots of those...
What's interesting is how more fans have gotten the riot act from you than your detractors. You never talk back to ANYONE who hates you or your work. My guess is that you could care less about their faults, but find your real fans worth the effort. My best teachers and mentors had the same values.
You're a wise old man, Mr. Smith...

Fucking people is easy: Insert, thrust, repeat. Working with them is the tough part...
