The Bieber Book

I was curious about how much of a savings you would get if you pre-ordered Justin's autobiography compared to buying it when it comes out, and went to chapters.ca and saw a "Review". It's not actually a review at all as Matt has not read the book. He said that he wanted to get a dialogue going and the way to do that, is to go against the numbers. In this case, he knew that most people are looking forward to the book (which is not true, it's probably closer to half) and so he decided to play the devil's advocate and be negative. He said had he written a positive review, no one would comment. On the other hand, he complained his email was being flooded with notifications on responses ie people arguing him - the dialogue he claimed he wanted. His review was essentially about how there wasn't much of a story to tell and he asked people to help him understand the interest in the book (though he also claimed to know all about Justin) but in the meantime for us to just go ahead an enjoy wasting our money.
So really, he is A. insulting Justin Bieber and B. the people who support him.
I spent the day in dialogue with Matt. Of course, like all other haters, he wound up just calling me a jerk and being contradictory to himself. Like saying he wanted a dialogue, but then complaining when people argued with him. Basically missing the point of what we all were saying and getting defensive.
People asked him to leave Justin alone and stop picking on the kid who was a nice guy. Matt responded with two example of where Justin wasn't perfect (taking revenge on the kid who hacked into his facebook and posting the hacker's phone number to his fans) and telling a DP to stop touching him. I bet if I said to Matt, so are you a nice guy? Have you never done something you later thought wasn't nice? And Matt's response would be, "I never said I was a nice guy." Missing the point of Justin isn't perfect, no one is, and there will always be examples like that, but Justin IS a nice guy, for all we know about him.
I'm only curious about human nature. So just as I reflect on why I blog about Justin or why I do this or that, I am equally curious as to why Matt, who seems to be an intelligent, reasonable grown-up to start a fight. Because if you are familiar with Justin, you can expect a protective flare up from fans if you ever say anything negative. Such as it is with any celebrity. A celebrity will have fans and that's their job. Alice Cooper fans, Eminem fans, Celine Dion fans...and so on. You will always have people who like the music, and people who don't like the music. So why would you bother to join a fanclub only to give voice yourself as Not being a fan?
I wondered if Matt was lonely and spent a lot of time on the internet. Perhaps a shut-in. Angry at the world. Jealous of the attention Justin gets. Wanted some attention himself. All I really want from Matt is a soul-searching answer as to why. But he won't bother. Or won't have the courage to own up to it. I own up to feeling superior to haters just as they feel superior to fans of Justin Bieber. I'm certainly not more mature than they are because I will fight them, which is sinking to their level. Except, thanks to Justin and the love he shows to his own haters, I am a lot better now. It's a lot more effortless for me to just accept the haters and show them love. But on the other hand, I do enjoy debate and so I attempted to give what Matt's review was asking for: an answer. And others did as well. But is Matt listening?
