As a group we don't all get along, or see eye to eye, but as individuals we all have at least one or two folks who we trust enough to know our intentions and who can talk us down from a proverbial ledge before a situation explodes.
I think of Dan Savage when he says: Don't tell me that you're not all like that, tell them.
We should pass off fandom crap as being made by casuals, or "the crazies," because to people from outside of fandom...we're all one group.
And so we shouldn't focus on telling people from outside fandom that we're not all like that, we should tell the people making the waves that we're not all like that.
If that makes any sense.
