It's one of those things that I find gets annoying really fast. 

 

And to be fair, the group on this site isn't NEARLY as bad as most other sites. :thumb

Fanaticism is just all around bad.

 

I got stuck in a close to 100 minute chat with a WM employee who collects, and well..long story short:

 

He starts telling me about his favorite fanfics...VERBATIM, and with VOICES.

He tells me all about the Dreamwave comics in and out, beginning to end.

He tells me we're not getting Galaxy Force over here (I corrected him, and he finally figured out what I meant).

He didn't know there was a movie planned, didn't know there were any shows on right now.

Didn't know that there were new Alternators.

To top it off?

 

He was a G1 purist and I heard about that. On. And. On.

 

Fortunately my girlfriend said "Hey, we gotta go. Take care." (God smiled on me) and we walked away.

 

Now let me be fair and honest:

 

1.) REEALLY nice guy.

2.) That's the risk involved with a town brimming with collectors of all types.

 

The other downsides to all of this?

1.) I hadn't slept in almost 36 hours by this point, ready to collapse. (what's another 2 hours eh?)

2.) I have to duck and run everytime I have the potential to run into him.

 

So yeah, fanaticism is a danger, and a nuisance.
