This. By definition, BNFs are BNFs because they are very productive in fandom, or very central to it, being a source of material / news / whatever. So it's not exactly "easy to ignore", if you want to keep up to date with fandom.
Heck, there's this "medium-named fan" in my fandom that I can't stand because we know each other IRL, there's been drama involved, and most of her opinions irk me. It turns out that she popped up on the board I'm posting on, and that a lot of people love her there (and in other fandom places) because she wrote popular fics. I wasn't aware of that before I started disliking her, because I don't read fic. But it makes it really hard for me to ignore her completely. And I can't express myself on the board about it because she's popular so I'd make enemies... And some of her friends / fans are people I like.
So, it is a nuisance I can't really get rid of, because her posts still irk me very often. And I don't want to leave a good board just because she posts there.
