LOL well obviously Darren or Leonie never said anything about not being a fan if you weren't supportive. But there has always been a lot of encouragement to support Darren, that he constantly thanks those who are supportive of him, it's obvious it's on his mind at least sometimes.

You are right that it was mostly other fans who made me at the very least feel that attitude of judgement, perhaps twisting Darren's genuine thankfulness into believing that we would upset him if we weren't supportive. And, following this logically, he has admitted he didn't feel supported in the past and it..er..supports that idea of "a good fan supports Darren" in appearance, even if that may not be the literal truth.

Remember, all we got in this game is appearances, so if something appears to be the case, it's often treated as true. A muddled mess, for certain *chuckle*
