so what I wrote would be fans of Rika fans - that's just sick :evil:
I think you just implicitly insulted half the users of this board.
U.S.S. John E. Badass you did not quote my full statement which was:
....would be fans of Rika fans - that's just sick :evil: those guys are a little too freaky for me!
I was referring to the hardcore Japanese wota (with the parades, Rika shrines, painted vans, etc) and how it would be sick to be fans of the fans themselves and not the celebrity/entertainer. I can respect these guys to a certain extent and what they have done to support H!P and Rika, but I do know that extreme fanaticism can be scary (fictional example - remember the Stephen King novel/movie “Misery” - and as the saying goes truth is stranger than fiction

). I agree with what Kamui wrote:
I dont know about the rest of you but I get a little bit creeped out by these fanboys. I'm sure as a star it feels great to have a bunch of fans.. until they go that far.
For what it’s worth I think the users of this board are a really great well rounded intelligent group of people. That is why I enjoy being here. StreakInTheSky was sharp to catch the unintentional meaning in what I wrote about ishi-wota fever and it made me laugh. It’s cool to see people actually reading what you post!
I have learned so much here and I value the feedback and comments of others. I do my best to visit JPH!P every couple of days (if not more often) because I know I will always learn something new and share information, ideas and laughs with people who I can relate with.
I wouldn't wanna be a fan of daigong, ebc or myself either 
Yeah Masa I’ll wait until you guys become famous and have forums dedicated to you before I paint my car and build a shrine in your honour.
But daigong, ebc, and you deserve all the props and respect from the hearts of all the ishi-wota here…you guys really are a big reason that JPH!P and The RIVE are so great!
