An actor I liked was being stalked and had to sneak around, avoiding people. I recall people on message boards not being remotely sympathetic, even being angry that he couldn't come out of the theater after the play to sign things. They felt it was their right to see him, to interrupt his dinner with autograph requests, to basically hound him whenever and wherever they pleased because he was public property. I was appalled! How could they be so uncaring towards someone they "loved"? Personally, if I am very fond of a celebrity, I do want to meet them -- but not at the expense of their privacy. I respect them as a person and want what is best for them because I *do* care about them. I simply don't understand that people think they can say or do anything they want to a celebrity.Gwyn Bertockihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10686397956677140627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32734453.post-78381643403090795922016-02-11T10:07:13.877-08:002016-02-11T10:07:13.877-08:00What I want to say would be laced with expletives,...What I want to say would be laced with expletives, but I will not degrade the space by doing so. But, this made my blood boil. Where do people get the gall to be so forward and bold in their lack of civility? I know that feeling of wanting to just toss off a sour interaction and move forward, but it's difficult when it is that personal. Been there, hated it.
