The shippers also tend to blindly hate Kristen (Buckingham, Lindsey's wife) and paint her as a succubus from hell. Now, while its fair to say that those who have actually met her (and have dealt with with her unpleasant/petulant behavior first hand), or have knowledge of her rather um, curious background, have found other legitimate reasons to question Lindsey's judgment, its rather ridiculous to think that Lindsey was somehow misguided.
For what its worth, Kristen is exactly who Lindsey was looking/waiting for, and I'm sure they are quite happy together. I'll say that much.

You forgot to mention that some shippers are extremely violent in their hatred of those who question some of the obvious delusions of ultra-shipperdom. Most shippers are nice though, there is a certain segment that are just plain psycho. For example, the "Do you hear me Annie?" was changed to mean "Stevie" instead of who it was obviously meant for, "Anne Heche", etc. Many ultra-shippers would stake their lives on such nonsense.
