You don't have to, Moe - that's not what I'm saying at least.

But I'm saying you ARE a fan of the "genre" - whether you approve of the actions of individual Mafiosi or of Cosa Nostra in general, or not - you lap up all the info just like the rest of us.

I am not a fan of these guys either, although occasionally you do read about those who would appear to have redeeming qualities which is part of what makes it so fascinating.

There's nothing wrong with being a fanboy, Moe, of the genre itself. That's exactly what you are or you wouldn't be here with almost 5,000 posts to your name.
