People of the fandom

You know there are some really bitching people in the fandom. It's where I met my best friend ever as well as my boyfriend. I'm glad I take part in the community, but once in a while I really wonder about the people on these sites.
Ever meet one of these people that's just so off? The sort that just get obsessed with something, and are always so damn angry. It's like they just want to waste their lives being irrationally angry at someone, and they start telling stories where you're not sure if they're trolling or genuinely believe the things that are coming out of their mouth.
Oof. I don't mean to be mean. This isn't about people who are a bit awkward, or different, or might have some sort of disability and they have difficulty interacting. It's the people that are constantly aggressive and start to make stories for why the people they hate are awful, often stories that make no sense at all.
Sometimes I genuinely wonder if these people are just making shit up for fun and find being pissed to be funny, or if they actually convince themselves of the things they've made up to justify their rage.
Not entirely sure which is worse, though I know which is more sad.

I'm not bothered about hearing ridiculous stories, because they don't make sense, and if they are about me then I and those close to me know it isn't true, so it's just something to laugh about. It's just weird and sad to think someone is that hurt, or has something going on that much that either they're believing that kinda shit or just need to waste their time trolling about it.
Let them just be, ignore and live on your life. Problem is, if you start to fight them off, they may start messing with your life (Telling simply false stories, etc.).
That's of course my observation.
Maybe i'm lucky. I've never really had much of an issue of people talking shit. It was always either misinformation or just misunderstanding that people call out pretty quick.
It's just more, it's weird to listen to the stories of trolls and stalkers, because like...what is there to gain in that except to just stay angry?
As far as irrational anger (which I used to have a problem with) pot helps. A lot.
