See, I'll never get the whole 'fan' concept.. it comes across as arrogant, to me- like assigning someone as a fan is putting them beneath

you. They should come up with another word for it. Personally, no one TELLS me I'm a fan of theirs, lol

And what is so bad about making new friends?

agrees they are silly words. I'm not going to claim I'm a friend of some total stranger, but they're free to follow me if they want!

... and Plurk calls that "Fan", so there we are.

For me it's more about not cluttering my timeline with updates from people I don't know, and thus have little interest in seeing updates.

That too! An' I still don't want to keep them from following me if for some reason they want to.

hmm... guess that's why I'm a fan. Despite shared kitteh bits...
