Well, I understand the main concern about Mikoto's fanbase, but here, the idea of "Mikoto fans are rabid" pretty much comes from experience. And about nearly 90% of the time, they are spot on, the remaining 10% seems to have trouble expressing themselves, apparently. (I'm not exaggerating, it's true.) I admit that to me, the thought process is automatic, however, it was only an assumption, and I do not act according to it until it is verified. But the fact remains that her fanbase is that bad. A rabbid fan is recognized not by their fanbase, but how they act. Please understand that.

The majority aren't rabid but the ones that are take the most attention are.

I'm not sure about the majority, but the rabbid part of the fanbase just happens to be the most active, and most dedicated. It was so dedicated I honestly can't understand how such a terrible way of worshiping a character can spread (Proven by all the talk pages and comments you can easily found on this wiki, and I'm sure, many other places). If you phrase them like that, "rabbid" isn't exactly that wrong of a word to describe them.

I admit, as said in a few comments below, that not all Mikoto fans are rabbid, this we all knew. There are fans who are disgusted with their fanbase's action and reputation, but when asked, they never said we were wrong with what we did.

Why would a person that doesn't care about Index or hate Index a little while loving Mikoto would write a comment about how Index is bad or horrible?

Because they just really hate Index, maybe? Because they assumes people think that Index is above Mikoto in her role in the story? By bashing Index, they feel better about Mikoto? And they just happen to read for the ships, and Index is a bother in their Misaka x Touma ship? They badly wanted to get Mikoto even more attention, and they just don't think about others at all. Or they are just trolling. There are many kinds of people in the world, they have their own reasons for everything, "don't care" and "hate a little" isn't exactly every type there is. What happens to people that liked Index, even?

What matters is whether it's right or wrong. If not, it's how they do it.

And, how in god's name did you deduct those rabbid fans from their comments into that description?

that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't mean that they have to act so low that you have to too

Hm, and I thought most people who dealed with these kind of promblems are rather polite, compared to who we were responding to. A person can only be offended if the accusation is wrong. Or at least, they believe it to be wrong. However, with the latter, that don't change anything if they really, truly are wrong.

You tried to defend Mikoto's fanbase, an understandable desire. But you really should get a better understanding of the subject here before continuing.
