I am also a fan of Dan's . I know you have to be weary of people on the internet, since obviously people can hide who they truly are, but Dan's caring and kind nature just shines through on these boards. I truly believe he is like this in real life and having read posts by people who have met him, I am confident that I am right in believing he is a kind person. I am aware of the ugliness that has been going on, eventhough I haven't posted on any of those threads, and it does bother me that Dan has been getting a lot of the ugliness, he really doesn't deserve it and I hope it stops.
