How should I react to getting a fan?

thats up to te really..
now that we have a bacheca i think its okay to say "thanks for being a fan" but i PERSONALLY feel thats a bit forced and meaningless. i see people saying "thx 4 the add" and that takes less than 2 secondi to type and i dont feel it really says anything. its different for people te have interacted with- maybe they left a nice commento on your submission o sent te a prop!? then i think its nice to say something on their wall.
NEVER give props for being a fan..grrrrr it makes props meaningless.

as for fanning them back- some people automatically fan te back, some dont, some just fan in hopes of te adding them back because they feel a high fancount means something. let me tell te it doesnt!
I am INCREDIBLY AWESOME....SUPER MEGA AWESOME and yet i dont have a lot of fan (or medaglie for that matter...but still *points at self* AWESOME)

so it is your choice really. personally i will add people who i have interacted with o who like a lot of the same stuff i do.
if they type lyk dis 4 sho i wont add them- no matter how nice they seem. if i see they are a member of only twilight, bieber, random spot and other stuff i dont care for, i will not add them.

te seem sane and are on the etiquette spot AND type well (sheesh te added apostrophes and capitals!!!!! go you!!!) so i would fan te back!

te should also consider that if te like to filter your bacheca o chat (is the chat still even there? its always turned off) o like looking at scores on quiz the fan te see are the people "youre a fan of" so te might want to be choosy :P
