My honest opinion, I think everyone needs to stop being so outraged all the time by what other shippers say.

That's always good advice.

It's also important, however, to note that sometimes deep shipping analysis, emotional involvement in shipping and/or intense mature discussion about these topics is a good thing. It's FUN to be emotionally involved in this way with TV shows, books or movies. That's why people do it.

It doesn't automatically mean people have gone overboard, or are taking shipping too seriously, or are making insulting personal attacks, or feel the need for an, um ,... detached person to decide on their own that they need to step in and play referee. Every case is different.

I enjoy every aspect of iCarly too, and I would watch it even if I didn't ship. I'm a Dan fan first. But the shipping gives the show an extra kick for me, and I like that. There's no harm in discussing such things with others, even if they feel differently about it. Disagreement is OK.

We know it's just a TV show.

And Romeo & Juliet is just a play, and Casablanca is just a movie.

I guess I'll just continue being part of the freakshow, I guess.
