		<description>Seem sincere to me. I personally have no agenda in this. I&#039;m looking at both sides and can see both POV&#039;s but it seems to me Sean has proven himself. JMHO.

@greenmelinda of Top Idol: I am not going to ask for an apology. Or say anyone &quot;told you so&quot;. At this time, there is peace in my heart and not hate. I have spoken with both Isabel and Joy over the phone and not only felt their love and excitement but also got to see what came of all the fans efforts in making Isabel&#039;s dream come true. Please see: http://isabel4adam.blogspot.com/ . I have also spoken over the phone with people at Fantasy Springs. I am sorry I don&#039;t fit in your box, but yes, I am a gay man. Both Wilson Cruz and Larry Flick know that I am, why do you have such a problem with it? And no, I’m not name dropping, I’m making a point. These two men are very important in my life and they know my heart and who I am. 

At this time, all I ask is that you simply take down your two blogs on me that are incorrect, lies and slander against me along with your members comments. You do not know me. You do not know who I am or ever took the time to ask. You just assumed and we all know the saying that goes along with that. 

So I sincerely, respectfully and kindly ask that you remove the two blogs so my name is no longer damaged and you are no longer discredited.

Respectfully,
Sean T.

		<description>ducdebrabant, his style must have been quite different back then. But then again, some people are trusting online. Couple that with his not giving a real reason to believe he was female..i suppose he could pass. IDK, I smelled a rat with that weirdo the second he came to AO.</description>

		<description>Frauen wouldn&#039;t pass for gay men on a QAF board, i guarantee it. No way. While gay men might have some characteristics that resemble those of women, there are tooooo many distinctive differences. Like that fanfiction type &#039;cuddling on the couch&#039; nonsense. No WAY would a man, gay or otherwise, write something like that.</description>

		<description>Yeah, I can&#039;t wait either. Pops more popcorn...

ducdebrabant, the Idol fanbases are an easy mark because of what is called the &quot;frauen&quot; - middle aged, some older, some younger - women of limited education who married young and became breeders. They have &quot;mommy&quot; mentality and usually an empty nest, talk about their &quot;hubbys&quot; household things and FOOD. Lots of FOOD talk. They are very simple women with disposable household incomes. A majority are from rural areas or from areas where the cost of living is relatively low. Some of them aspire to great heights and become quite pretentious. The Adam board is cluttered with vomit inspiring wank from these sorts. You may also want to google L Anne Carington to see another example, a Constantine Maroulis fan. Same deal, different object of obsession. They seem to regress to a tween/teenaged mentality of fanaticism and behaviour. It&#039;s a pattern that many have seen and reported. They basically form into cults, and you know how grifters and charismatics love that. The lose all perspective while in the midst of their fandom. The ugliness of their attacks all in the name of an irrational mamabear protectiveness is something to behold, as you obviously have experienced as well.

I don&#039;t for one minute believe Sean is a man. I think the only people who do are his followers. Did &quot;he&quot; pass as male at the Queer as Folk board?</description>

		<description>So these freaks probably did not fit into the Queer As Folk fandom, I gather? Anything trendy and gay they seem to latch onto? Anything gay that gets media attention?

Very interested that Pflagmom is a Queer As Folk reference, too.</description>

		<description>Are you saying that these people have been going around harassing boards for some time now? 

That was my feeling too. I don&#039;t want to speculate before TI writes the second chapter of this mess but it makes sense that these people know what they&#039;re doing. It is amateurish but by the book.

I hope we get the second chapter soon. It is kind of embarrassing how much I want to understand what happened that weekend here.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t realize it was all part of a common syndrome.  Funny they should be jumping onboard anybody&#039;s idoldom -- Lambert&#039;s or Weir&#039;s -- because they started off making common cause, on a Queer as Folk discussion board, with Gale Harold haters.  Why not infiltrate Gale&#039;s fanbase?  Frankly, it&#039;s too smart.  It&#039;s international and self-selected and full of successful and well-educated people.  He&#039;s more the thinking person&#039;s sex symbol.  But their snarking didn&#039;t even stop when Gale had a potentially fatal motorcycle accident and was in intensive care for head trauma.  One of their cronies said, and I quote: &quot;Re: Gale Harold - take a lesson, kids - don&#039;t snort and drive (motorcycles). Yes I&#039;m that big a bastard. :D &quot;  And yes they all are.</description>
