: After reading recent posts, I've realized that many people here follow (obey) Kevin with blind devotion. Kevin doesn't like PT Anderson, so there are posts about how we all hate PT and his movies. Kev mentions the GLAAD issue, we all hate GLAAD and what they stand for. The same goes for Catholics, Tim Burton, Jon Favreau, ABC, and anyone else who Kevin dislikes, or who dislikes Kevin.
: Do you think it has anything to do with the fact Kevin reads this board, and it's just a form of ass-kissing?
A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B....
Look, of course you're going to get some blind-faith hangers-on in ANY forum...throw a pseudo-mega-celeb and that's only going to be more apparent...but then there are people who may possibly "hate" one of these things, and is just venting, feeling vindicated that someone else seemingly shares the same opinion...I mean, I haven't noticed (For the most part) that the same people who railed againts the GLAAD thing also decried the Catholics, or that all the PT-haters have jumped on the anti-Burton bandwagon....granted, there are some posters who will just agree with everything that comes down from "on high," but who cares? They're not hurting anyone, just ignore them, and let it go. For better or for worse, this is a View Askew board, and thusly essentially a Kevin Smith board, so of course you're going to get some uber-fans who hail everything he says...
