Ah, more drama and controversy surrounding fandom "big names" I& #39;d never heard of till today. Kind of glad I& #39;m not super involved in fandom affairs anymore. It& #39;s hard keeping track of who& #39;s good/bad.

What amuses me most is that everyone is always expected to know who these people are or what the deal with them is. If you don& #39;t attend conventions or are very actively involved with fandom affairs, why would you?

(They& #39;re almost always American, too)

I don& #39;t know who needs to hear this but "Star Wars fan active on Twitter" doesn& #39;t always mean we& #39;re familiar with all the big names in SW Twitter. Quite frankly, some of us (me) don& #39;t know or care. Warnings are great and often appreciated but don& #39;t assume we know who they are.

If you& #39;re not part of the podcast circuit, attend conventions, or participate in fandom in a greater capacity than average (i.e. beyond half-arsedly updating a blog when the mood strikes), a lot of these names mean little to nothing to us. It& #39;s hard to keep up.

I should also repeat - because people enjoy taking stuff out of context - that what I term "fandom drama" has more to do with petty spats between rival podcasters and stuff of that ilk. Anything serious/abusive does not fall under that umbrella, so please don& #39;t twist my words.
