Sure, but I'm also surprised people are still butthurt about shit like that. I love Doctor Who but it has one of the most unpleasant fandoms I've ever been in. When you compare it to major fandoms that are almost as old (like Star Trek TOS) or even older (like Sherlock Holmes), it never fails to astound me just how unusually large and how deeply nasty the nasty contingent of the DW fandom is.

(Not that there aren't a good deal of awesome DW fans of course, but proportionately speaking...)

This. It's fucking ridiculous how consistently and oppressively negative Doctor Who fandom is. There's a reason that I only ever talk about Doctor Who completely anon & don't want to admit that I'm a fan of it. Like you say, even when you compare it to fandoms that are equally nerdy, and that have been around almost as long, the level of infighting and vitriol in DW fandom is remarkable. And they're nasty about fucking everything, and they can't help but be nasty, no matter what the context.
