@RattyBurvil: No. It is my apple. http://instagr.am/p/IcS2NfjgL3/

I’m embarrassed that people are actually signing with “the fandom” when they send these kind of awful messages. NOT YOUR ARMY.
The replies, however, are kind of hilarious. XDD

Ship Johnlock, that’s fine. Just: don’t involve the REAL people that created and portray these characters. Please. 

Fandom stops being a good and fun thing if you completely lose yourself in it and forget that they are real people and they do not live inside our bubble and DO NOT WANT TO be part of it.

They don’t want any of that, so please stop confronting them with it.

Also: For the love of fandom, stop blaming Moffat for everything bad that happens and only worship Gatiss. They are both great writers and Moffat isn’t a Dark Lord. Even if you don’t really mean it, imagine how he feels looking at all those “I hate Moffat” memes, posts, whatevers. And it truly becomes less funny every time.

Please, dear Sherlock fandom, be considerate.

With love,

your sane Sherlockian

What you said. With two additions:

(a) Without everything Mark and Steven and Sue have busted their butts doing for the last 2/3/4 years, there would be no Sherlock. So have some respect. 

(b) They have a lot of work to do in the upcoming months, and their morale is key to getting it done right. They’ve raised the bar incredibly high in season 2, and now are faced with what must look like the near-impossible task of not only matching that level of quality, but pushing that bar up even higher if they can. Childish shrieks of hatred from the sidelines are not conducive to such work. You want terrific Sherlock at the end of the year, stuff that will make you weep with angst and pity and outrage and joy? Then get a grip.

Be appropriate with them on Twitter and the other online places they consent to meet you. Hate memes speed up entropy in their mental neighborhoods and nibble away at the creative energies. …Also, persuade others to calm down if they need to do so. Friends don’t let friends chop away at their own fandom’s root.

LET STEVEN AND MARK BE, AND LET THEM GET ON WITH IT!

…Thank you.

“It gets less funny over time” indicating, of course, that this has been constant and never-ending.
