I'm totally with you on all accounts, and please, feel free to vent anytime! :) These "fans" are a disgrace to the entire fandom. Talk about second hand embarrassment. *eyeroll* I just wish TPTB would once acknowledge the problem instead of cater to them, feeding their illusions of entitlement. That pisses me off even more than the actual concept of The Pairing That Shall Not Be Named, ya know?

And I'm not leaving fandom, I have too much fun playing with Gibbs and Tony. I just may have to stop watching the show if it really goes where GG threatened to go. *shrugs* But, since that won't be MY show anymore anyway, I don't consider it abandoning NCIS, I consider it not watching a new show I have no passion for. *shrugs* Though I did notice a decline in the last couple of years in fandom overall, which is a shame. Especially since I have a half-finished AU epic that I really need to complete and get ready to post before there's no one left who actually reads it! LOL!

THX *smishes you*
