This is how it goes – People who like Iggy or don’t mind Iggy, they come to this and other sites and they read her articles and then they leave.
People who don’t like Iggy or thinks Iggy staying alive is an insult to their own existence they come to every article about Iggy and they feel compelled to read, then to write hateful things about her – What they don’t realize is they have made themselves a “Iggy follower”, because they search out Iggy’s name throughout the Internet and that’s a follower.
