RE: Residual negativity from fans of other idols
By it's very nature the Internet will have lots of dead wrong stupid things on it and every discussion forum that's generally open for discussion will have a lot of negative and "trolling" things (posts to taunt or get other poster's upset, often sublelty enough not to break most forums rules).
I can enjoy threads with 90% crappy posts and 10% interesting and accurate posts...that's what the internet is about and smart people screen signal from noise. Also, and maybe I'm painting this in a personal way, I think there is something self assured about feeling sorry for people who insult me rather than feeling offended. Only when people that I respect criticize me unfairly do I get hurt, and try to right their opinion if I think they misunderstood or didn't know the full picture.
Long and short... everyone at least knows there are idiots on the internet and expects someone to say something stupid, and I think most are accustomed to ignoring idiots.
