I never thought I'd live to see the day when juggalos seem like pretty reasonable fans compared to TNA diehards.

Are they seriously this worked up over a difference of 9,000 viewers?

The impression I got from the conversation was that the TNA guy was trying to prove that the 359k number from whatever rating websites was the correct first-run-airing-only number (ie, more than the original tweet's claim of 263k) because he didn't understand that the websites number was the combined east and west coast ratings. That's why he specified "You claimed total viewership was 368k," and then went back to being very specific about time blocks.

In other words, TNA guy thought PWTorch was burying TNA not by claiming a difference of 9000 viewers, but by reporting only the first run number as the total viewership, cutting the number into half (at least in the mind of a TNA fan who believes the replay would have equal viewership to the first run).

Then again, maybe he is being this insane over a difference of 9000 guys. But given how TNA fans typically work I think they're much more likely to believe that the show drew 720k and the DIRT SHEETS ARE CORRUPT then they are to believe that a difference of less than 10k viewers matters after a dropoff over nearly 600k.
