Fandom can be so messy. I'm sorry someone had the gall to say they didn't like talking to you while still taking the time to talk to you. I'm with you, if you don't like someone then manage that emotion and distance yourself.

Twilight is such a complex thing. I think there are very valid critiques of the books to be made, especially with younger readers reading them uncritically. That said I think reading is great and I've read my fair share of trash and had fun with it, including Twilight, so I don't want to shame people for reading things. The best approach to Twilight that I saw was in a high school where I worked for a few months. A teacher had the Twilight fans make a book club and that way they could be introduced to other books. Some people went form being non readers to reading any vampire novel they could get their hands on including things like Dracula.
