I haven't looked yet to see if it has been deleted, but I asked my thread to be deleted because it was beginning to cross over to my own personal safety being threatened.

Look, he is just a singer (and at best an activist with UNICEF and whatnot). I adore his voice or I would not have spent time going to shows and just showing support. I don't understand why it is like some of these people's jobs to gang up on somebody that states a concern especially with people that are bullying others. I was concerned that people were being chased away and people were being bullied. What do they do? Chase away and gang up on me (ie bullying tactic). I would think any rational person would go, "ok, maybe this is something that everyone needs to work on." Sadly we are possibly not dealing with rational people or people that are in the heat of the moment, that spread lies, edit their posts and play victim, and still try to chase people like me off. By people like me, I have no idea but I know it is happening.

What kills me is they proved my point perfectly by ganging up on me. If this happens to an established fan that has been around since the begininng, imagine how dicey it is for anyone that sincerely wants to be a fan of Clay that steps out of the mass thinking. I'm perhaps insane myself (waiting for that to be posted out of context somewhere) to continue being a fan because I REALLY like his voice. Yet, is it worth it?

As for the wanting attention, well, yes and no. I wanted to bring attention to it to Clay (or really we should say his peeps that read that section) because it is crazy. Plus this is his official club not some board that excludes people. I did NOT call out any individual in my original post. The "no" is I didn't necesarily want Clay himself to go, "oh she's such a good fan" like some of these warped women seem to think. I wanted to bring light so something can be done.

I love Clay's voice, but it certainly is not worth it if I have to be worrying if I go to my Christmas shows I will be physically harmed. I mean I will still go, but it scares me I have to feel I have to go with a heightened sense of awareness. I NEVER had to deal with this with any other artist I have liked.

I am not pointing my finger at any specific person. I'm just saying (perhaps they are reading this now hopefully not planning to misquote to prove I am evil) perhaps they should take a step back, look at themselves (I am looking at myself too), and just think.
