A certain part of Tool's fan-base is probably the cringiest I've witnessed. Found this gem years ago and held onto it ever since:
"This is yet another thing I love about TOOL. With the exception of the trolls, the diversity of discussions that arise from their songs are amazing. All TOOL fans are truly remarkable for having a level of intelligence, in my opinion, greater than those who are not fans. I don't just say this because I am a fan, either, I mean it. You are all exceptional beings, in my opinion. Have a wonderful day."
