My main goal in life is to be unconditionally happy. My every action and consequently non-action, is governed by this rule. This causes people to judge me… sometimes fairly, most times not. 
Protect Me? Protect Me Not?

There is a bit of a frenzy going on, that much is undeniable. I implore those involved to think carefully about what is said. I agree 100% with the sentiments stated, I even mentioned it previously but trust me when I say that even the best intentions can be misconstrued depending on a person’s mood. In dealing with stalkers of my own and stalkers of my grandfather I know first hand that not only can the undesirables be off putting but the response of others can as well. What we all share is a positive thing, a group of strong intelligent and highly talented women who were brought together during times of turmoil, I fear though that if the cause of this frenzy is handled hastily it may jeopardize this.
Let me try to put it better, you are a highly sought after entertainer with a large fan base. In addition to a general fan base there is a select group that brings a smile to your face through videos and pleasant interaction. They are not off putting at all and are very loyal. So far so good. Now imagine if you will that another fan comes along and is demonstrating some less than stellar behaviour. As an entertainer you know that you cannot be too rude because every fan is a gift, or maybe you have had a friend who has a history of mental illness and thus feel that compassion or placation is the best method to deal with the aforementioned fan. Maybe you are amused by it or maybe you think them creepy yet harmless. Either way, as the entertainer it is your decision on how to proceed. Next imagine that you suddenly find that group who you have always enjoyed decided to react to this person instead of you. Maybe they were hard on the “off” person, or maybe they assumed to know your feelings on it. Do you wonder if any overzealous new fan would be greeted the same? Would that be bad for potential fans? Would you feel that they were bullied and/or not welcome? As an entertainer you know that some people obsess in great detail, what if god forbid this “off putting” fan did something extreme before you even had a chance to step in and say “I appreciate the support but could you tone it down”?
This is not meant to piss anyone off but I do think that another perspective may be warranted. I agree that some of this behaviour seems absolutely bat shit crazy, and I also understand the need to protect, I mean for fucks sake I am an army vet and a mommy, protection is what I do. I ask though that until the situation is aknowleged and the proverbial nod of get em girls is given, that this situation be handled with care
