I agree, interacting with fans is a double-edged sword. On one hand, the opinions in online fandom don't necessarily reflect opinions of casual fans. OTOH, when one of PTB posts on a fan board, he inadvertently endorses this or that segment of fandom simply by expressing his opinion. Like Buffy used to say, "it's complicated." :)
