While I agree with the stance that 'RL defriending', because someone is embarassing due to fangirling, is a tricky situation...
Well, perhaps we could think of it this way? Say someone has intolerable manners. As in, obscenely rude. Would you dump them, assuming they had no positive traits equal to or greater than this rudeness?
Or perhaps we should contemplate people that just 'drift apart'. D is interested in mathematics and advanced trigonomic expressions. T is interested in the elusive semicolon and its uses with regards to surrealistic expression. They don't have the same interests. They drift. Is this okay?
What I'm trying to say is that, while fandom is far from SRS BIZNUZZizzle, there's also a dimension of reality to it that is often overlooked. Why are people supposed to forgive a fandom 'rabidity' when the local programmer freak is A-OK to dismiss?

...And, as for 'three years'... four, in the US. And, er. Since people that are attending HS are, generally, young, those four/three years make up approximately 22% of those people's lives.
