Kevin needs therapy.Not a website or college tours

Honestly, when I came to this site, it was to learn more about Kevin Smith's films, not Kevin Smith. I can give two shits what he thinks or what he does when he's not making his movies. He says this site was created for his fans but that's bullshit. He created this site for attention. Simply put: he likes it when fans kiss his ass. Kevin, man, get some dignity! I like a good Kevin Smith film like the rest of you (Chasing Amy, Dogma) but just because I'm a fan of his good films doesn't mean I have to like his crappy ones (Mallrats, Clerks, J&SBSB). He created this site and goes on those college tours, i think, because he is insecure and he likes hearing people say they like him.
Don't believe me? There is a great article on Entertainment Weekly Online about the cyber-insecurity that is Kevin Smith. It's by critic Owen Gleiberman. Read the EW archive. And before you rail against EW, keep in mind that this is the same critic that listed DOGMA as one of the top ten films of 2000 before Kevin surcumb to his internet addiction.
Instead of speaking on College Campuses or making fan club websites he should invest the energy on his movies. Or better yet, if he can't then he should see a therapist rather than take out his passive-aggressive behaviour on his fans. Whether you think I'm right or wrong, let the facts speak for themselves: it's interfering with his film career (he hasn't had a hit for years and critics lose respect for him while his buddies Matt Damon and Ben Affleck win oscars and produce successful tv shows and star in multi-mil movies).
