Sorry, but I agree with them. I'm a part of the fandom of many series, even if I don't DO any of those fancy-shmancy things. I'm a fan. A fan is someone who likes a given thing. It's ALWAYS meant that, before SF people appropriated the word.
And the fanfic crowd IS part of Fandom even in YOUR definition. They write FANFIC. They publish it, they discuss it, they interact over it.
