What are your thoughts on the fan that touched Tim inappropriatly this week? How far is too far in your opinion?

Hi Kathy - it's Chel from Pop Music. Great article.

When do fans go too far. I am an avid fan of Clay Aiken's and I know that many times his fans have also crossed the line. They have camped in the front yard of his mother and even dug up some of her grass as memory keepers. They have knocked on her door at midnight asking if she knew where he was or wanting an autograph.

Clay lives in Raleigh in a gated community now, so we don't hear too much about his privacy home issues. However, while greeting fans, he has been licked on the neck, fondled, grabbed, pinched, and his hair tugged.

The word fan does stand for fanatic, and how far is too far. I am grateful that Clay and others do meet with their fans and talk with them, however, they are people, just like me and I wouldn't want to be man or woman handled by anyone. It's not fair, there is a private space issue. On the same note, I don't want these celebrities to hide behind a glass curtain.

I think Faith was right, some fans need some class.

The problem is that almost everyone thinks that the moment you become rich and/or famous you are now an object that everyone has full access to all the time. Plus there's the media who have the power of god because they can do and say anything anytime anywhere and they never get to answer for any of it. So this is what happens and when it happens people say that this is part of their job and that they knew it. It is sickening but it will never change it will only get worst just like everything else that has to do with human beings because we as a species are getting worst with each passing seconds.
