I just think its really weird to seek out bad opinions from looney fans and then act like those folks are the spokespeople for a fanbase.
If you dont like what posters are tweeters are saying, they go users names call em out! For example The RollBlers twitter account pretty frequently fights with the MVC Twitter people, they do it stupidly and with either straight up wrong or misguided points. Why act like Rollblers is every Ramblers fan when we know theyre a random anonymous internet fan account?
As for lurking on fan boards, I know Ramblers people do that. Sometimes in the forum threads get linked etc. I think its a perfectly normal thing to do. I just dont think its normal to generalize a fan base based on specific reoccurring aggressive or weird people. I like Bradley fans I've met in person but I could rattle off a few user names that get under my skin, but I wouldnt say they are emblematic of every bradley fan.
