I think in many ways they are riding the tiger and they never realized that they got ON the tiger and now there is no way to get off.
I'd have to check this, but I'd be curious to see when twitter really took off. I imagine before it became massively popular they could get away with "riding the tiger". But now, they are acutely aware of the situation and probably feel like it's best to run away rather than address it.
I know cheebles wrote a great piece on this very issue.
And yes, those other incidents you mention all contribute to the growing issue (though I didn't know that girl said she was afraid of Jensen. Man).
Frankly, people have been clamoring for the return of the Samulet for longer than people have been clamoring for making Destiel canon and they still won't say yes or no on bringing it back.
Ha. Yes. Good point. I can imagine them keeping that close to their chest though - because it would make sense to keep that as a series ender. Though I suppose d/c shippers might think the same for their ship. I think that's why I'd like them to say (very clearly) what their intentions are. I mean, I can see that it's not going to happen - but with all the "hints" I'm sure it must be incredibly annoying and painful for the shippers to keep having to wonder.
