I got to thinking about what it would take for me to stop watching a show.

A really terrible experience in fandom that devolves into personal attacks and such childish behavior that when I turn on the television and actually see the show, these events are the only thing I can think of and I get physically ill.

It happened.

That's interesting - I didn't even consider that fandom could take someone out of a show.

It's a weakness on my part, that I let them sour me on the show, but it happened and I can't change it. I haven't watched the show since the Season 1 finale because every time I do, all I can think of is how rude and nasty fandom was and how watching the show itself was no longer enjoyable.

I think, in part, it was because fandom was a big part of my experience with that particular show from the very beginning, from the series premiere (as opposed to other shows I liked before ever entering fandom). Therefore fandom was the biggest part of watching the show, for me.
