Often, when I find a topic of interest that seems too good to be true (eg: like the story about JLH in Playboy), I like to go searching for evidence. In this case, I went to the JLH homepage to check for news/scurry their message boards. The thing is that the boards were so permeated with people that were "in love" with her, it was sad.
One example can be found here:
http://www.lovehewitt.ws/incredible.htm
This particular "fan" met her once and was so moved by the experience, that he fell head-over-heels in love with her. For the past year, he has been hounding that particular site and has over 2800 posts in the past one year (all with subject headers relating to Jennifer Love Hewitt).
My dislike for fanatics is not their fervent love for their gods and goddess, but their denial to hear things from others about their personal addiction. I voiced out my opinion (knowing in the back of my head that I would not be able to change their opinion, but I wanted to bust a few brain cells in the process) and because I was not in love with JLH (literally) as were the other posters, I was subsequently banned from the site from a moderator who was even more fervent (he had a post count of over 4000) and even more one-sided.
Here are my (mostly deleted) specifics relating to my experience at the JLH message board:

I would understand if this thread got closed (since I am referring to another site). However, since I am not affiliated with the sites in any way, I hope it will not be. My point in opening this thread was to ask whether anyone knew someone who displayed this particular type of movie addiction and whether you did anything to help the person out. I am sure that this is a problem among many fans of the art of movies, but I havent really noticed it here, so I bring it onto the table for discussion. What do you think?
