This isn't hard.

1. Respectful critique: "Favre handled this situation poorly, he's not bigger than the team and shouldn't receive any special treatment."

Malicious bashing: "Favre is a piece of shit, garbage and an asshole."

2. Healthy fanhood is the former in the above scenario. The blind worship crowd I put in the same extremist camp as the malicious bashers.
