Here is what I don't understand:
1. The amount of anger that I'm sensing from your words.
2. The fact that this anger was brought on by ONE (yes one) comment in the referring thread that contained Marilyn Manson's name. And it was the same sort of comment that would have been said if the post was of any celebrities girlfriend.
I really think the person who needs to get over things is the hypersensitive ones who read into everything too deeply. I didn't see anyone bash Manson. You asked "Why all the Manson-bashing?" Yet the one comment prior to your rant called Manson lucky and the other said he didn't deserve someone as beautiful as Dita. After the link to this rant, there were two more comments. The first stated that he actually wished to be Manson, and the second stated that Manson was a lucky man. Does this constitute bashing? Maybe I need a definition of bashing. I see nothing but compliments... Both to Dita and to Manson.
But back to why people "bash" others... Many here have said it's for lack of intelligence or for not understanding. There is another reason for "bashing" or putting something down.... jealousy. When a person is jealous of another, sometimes the person has the need to put the other down to make himself/herself feel better. So people may "bash" Manson because they're jealous. But unless you ask the person why he/she did it, you will never know.
