how do you feel about being called a "fan"

fancy pantsy — Tue, 21 May 2019 17:32:30 GMT

now and then on a d&c show, i hear gary refer to us as 'fans' (instead of customers or viewers or whatever).

every time i hear it all i can think of is

"rah rah sis boom ba,

"swing to the left ,swing to the right,

stand up, sit down ... fight fight fight"

i know, i'm strange.

I don't mind being called a fan, it means I have a passion for something or someone.

I don't mind. I've always considered myself a Susan Graver fan, for example. Same with Isaac.

I prefer it to being called an air conditioner.

I never even noticed it. I'll have to pay better attention next time.

I supposed it is 100% better than being called "neighbor."

Why so many critical comments about Gary today? What does this matter being called whatever as long as it's not offensive, mean, hostile, rude etc. Give Gary a break!!!

I can be a fan of a clothing line. I don't mind the term at all.

It doesn't bother me at all, and I'm not sure I would even notice a host or product rep using that word. Often we see posts here in the forums stating "I'm a fan of" certain product lines, so it's rather ubiquitous and not unusual. @deepwaterdotter, Love your comment! Thanks for the humor!😀

I have an ex-husband and have been called a whole lot of things - none of them nice (or fit to print) - so "fan" works for me! LOL - LuLu

Not that it makes a big difference in my life or anything but I do find it a little presumptuous.

Doesn't bother me. Actually, I think it's rather cute when he uses it.

I always thought he was referring to those who "like" a specific designer, style, or color and buy quite a bit of it. I think he uses the word rather loosely.

As far as QVC designers, I'd say Louis Dell'Olio has fans. They eagerly wait for his return with new products. I never noticed other designers receiving as much admiration (deserving I would say), but then I haven't been watching.

Gary might call repeat Logo and Susan Graver shoppers...fans. Or shoppers preferring elbow length sleeves, fans of that style.

I never thought Gary meant anyone even close to today's football fans.

@Krimpette

I'm a fan of SG, LG, RG, BM and LR. Not a fan of the any of the rest of them, though I may like one or two of their items.

Not a D&C fan, though I am a fan of their original waist pants - or whatever they are called. Not a fan of what's-his-name.

@deepwaterdotter LOL that's so funny. I needed a good chuckle, thanks.

Sincerely,

A Fan!!

"Fan" is fine with me. When Denim & Co. offered 100% cotton items, I purchased many wonderful pieces of clothing. Still hope Gary will offer those great types of clothing again. I'll be a fan who purchases again!

Just don't call me "guys" or "honey" or "dear". I'm none of those things to anyone at QVC.

@fancy pantsy

Have no idea who "gary" might be, but I am not a fan of anyone I have seen on any shopping network. I will save my being called a fan of only my New York Rangers NHL Hockey Team.

I take my "fandom" very seriously. =^..^=

@BirkiLady

100% cotton would be a welcome change.

Thank you
