> To me, than kind of means dislike. If I am the polar opposite of a fan of someone, then, I quite dislike them.I didn't mean to imply 'polar oposite'. I meant... I really and truely am not a fan. I never watched a show. I saw the adverts for the show and I didn't think I could tolerate that for an hour. That doesn't say anything at all about him as a person. I don't know whether I would have disliked the show. I guess I figured I probably would based on the adverts. But I don't have any feelings about him one way or the other as a person. I don't know him as a person at all.

Friends don't tend to have any extra special mind reading capacity you know, and just because someone can't read your mind doesn't mean that they don't know an awful lot about you in some respects and it doesn't mean that they don't care about you either.

> Yes, to me, that was showing disprespect.Well I didn't intend any disrespect. Also please note that I was responding to Racer. She started the thread and I was responding to her.

> Let me know when one of your hero's are killed in a particularly nasty manner, and I shall come and point out that I didn't like them much. Then we'll see how YOU feel about it.How old are we?
> Luckily, I now have alot of friends who *will* offer me support over this.. I should remember not to cme to this place for support.. *shakes head*Sorry I didn't realise this thread was about supporting you.
If you ever want to talk about what your problem with me is then I'm willing to listen and to try and talk it through.
But please stop jumping all over me.
