Eeesh, touched a nerve did I?

My apologies, but you did just prove my point...Viggo also slept with
his sword, carried it everywhere, did most of his own stunts as well
as the stuntmen in the film (there paraphrased words, not mine) and
lived like the character he was trying to embody...

If that's not dedication, I don't know what is.

Glass houses and stones don't really apply here, because my feelings
won't be hurt if you make fun of my fandom's idiosyncracies. You would
be a complete stranger who only typed his/her opinion of "my fandom"
on a group messageboard.

This is Harry Potter for Grown-Up's, right?
