Okay, I read it and while I do think you went a bit overboard, I do still agree for the most part. When I first heard the news that Madisen would be on iCarly, I was both shocked, appalled and above all, just plain pissed. I was just starting to get over my distaste for Madisen and all of a sudden it was like they were forcing her back into our minds. This kind of thing only provokes people to respond the way you did and then Madisen gets even more hate. Putting her on the show solves absolutely nothing. Not to mention that the show is ending and has already shown major signs of decline. I highly doubt Madisen's cameo appearance will fix that. It doesn't seem like Dan was thinking of his fans at all when he let this happen. Not only will the Jathan shippers be displeased (as well as anyone else who was unfairly involved in that Twitter incident), but so will the Seddie/Creddie shippers because now they're turning Nathan's rl gf into a potential love interest on the show. Being that this is the last season and neither ship has been formally resolved, this is where I draw the line. The only 2 people this whole thing pleases is Nathan (who gets to flirt with his gf on TV) and Madisen (who gets the acting spotlight she would never get otherwise). Most actors/actresses are above mixing their love life with their career, but apparently Nathan is not. It is very sad because it shows all the fans (even the ones who weren't involved) just how inmature both of them are because they made the situation so public. I don't know what I would have done if I had been in Nathan or Madisen's shoes tbh, but certainly blocking a huge wave of your followers isn't the answer. Like you said in your rant, these fans are the reason Nathan is who he is today. Plus, when you think about it, his fans are basically the reason Nathan was famous enough to show up at some charity gig and meet his future gf. (I swear, this is how they met, you can read the full story here: http://icarly.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog%3ADevonAndersen/Nathan%27s_Confirmed_Girlfriend_is_NOT_Miranda_or_Jennette )

Now, this is getting into something else entirely, but do you think Jennette and Nathan might be growing apart to the extent that it's really affecting the show? I know you said you weren't a Jathan shipper, but surely you've seen the old videos of them hanging out together and how happy and cute they looked (as friends). As of around the time Season 4 came out, this is rarely the case anymore. They seem to hang out less and less and there was a point where Jennette even unfollowed Nathan on Twitter. I'm normally one to overreact about stuff like this and jump to conclusions, but idk. I'd feel terrible if I blamed Madisen for them growing apart after everything I've already said about her, but it kinda seems like it may have contributed. The only reason this bugs me is because I feel like it has a negative impact on the show. Ever since Season 4, you could tell something was a bit off. Especially between Sam and Freddie, which is why iOMG and the Seddie Arc almost felt forced in awkward in a lot of ways...

But, okay, I'm done talking. lol
