I've never really had a problem with the way RTD deals with fandom; I get that he's a long-time fan of the show and have always just thought that he writes the show the way he thinks it should be written. I can like/dislike or agree/disagree with what he chooses to do with the 'verse, but I guess I've just thought of it as his vision/version, so ultimately, it's his story to tell. I think the stuff that he gets nastiest about in the fandom is related to what one might see as excesses in fan behavior, particularly the demands that he do X or Y (although I don't know that he's ever had a negative reaction to any demands for more Rose or Gwen--which I would expect to be the case since he clearly uses those characters as his own window into the 'verse). Has there ever been a show runner that the Who fandom has mostly rallied behind?
And Golding spindles are absolutely gorgeous--I will own one someday.
