To be fair its not like its the first fandom group that have been completely obsessive... I mean look at this on the wall of some Twilight/Edward Cullen fandom...

Did Beatlemaniacs send death threats to people who didn't like The Beatles?

They might have done if they'd had Twatface and other social media to stoke each other up!
Exactly this. The Stones/Beatles rivalries could get quite vicious, even without social media.
Don't assume that this is a new phenomenon: http://news.google.com/newspapers?n...=2NElAAAAIBAJ&sjid=XfMFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4879,34265

They possibly go to greater lengths. But maybe, just like there seems to be more violence and crime around, it is just reported more.
I want Louis Theroux to re-visit these One Direction fans in about 15 years, I'd be extremely interested to see what they end up doing.
I really want to know if this person was a Donny fan before Louis joined. Might ask her/him (probably her) some pressing questions about their history.
