	Oddly enough, I thought they should have considered a 4th category... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Huh, three different dimensions? It sounds to me more like three different regions of a single dimension. (Reply to this)

	. . .Borderline? Haha, no. (Reply to this)

	Yup, I've known the Pathological type -- I'd argue with the borderline aspect. It is not something fun to be involved with, trust me, especially when this is someone you know in real life as opposed to online. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Agreed. There are people that you end up avoiding constantly during your lunch break because you don't want to hear about their Hinckley-esque plans to impress their celebrity love. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, yeah. I actually knew one who had a restraining order taken out against them. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I've known quite a few in all three, but a select number special individuals in the last one. Fortunately, they've never been "set off" by having their affections reproached. x.x (Reply to this)

1. Yes. Why else would I be on the Genesis forums and the Phil Collins forums? 2. Er... no. 3. Does the last one still count as Borderline-pathological if I've actually known (IRL, not on the 'net or in my imagination) the celebrity in question for 20+ years? Actually, now that I think about it, even though he's my friend he might not really be my favorite celebrity. How weird is that? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Well, he's not a celebrity to you anymore. He's the guy you kick back and have a beer with or whatever, not worship from afar as he stands atop his pedestal. I don't think its strange at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	not worship from afar as he stands atop his pedestal. I'm snickering at that mental image. Heh. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I've met people in the intense-personal category. I'm honestly not one of them at all, but it doesn't bother me much until it edges over into #3. I guess the internet has jaded me big-time. (Actually I don't really do #1 much either. I like, say, House, but I'm not all that interested in what Hugh Laurie does in his off hours. He's a cool guy and all and if I'm really bored I might pay attention when someone posts about it but... yeah, I really don't care much.) (Reply to this)

	They're missing one absolute crucial category. 4. 'My friends and I like to write stories about what our favourite celebrity might do if, say, trapped in a cabin in the woods with nothing but a roaring log fire, a large fur rug, a bottle of baby oil, and his four celebrity bandmates for company.' There we go, fixed. (Reply to this)
