I feel you so much!! I recently wrote a "break-up" post about SPN. It's gotten to a point where I'm not enjoying it at all. As for the fandom, I haven't experienced most of the wank. I've been blocked by a bunch of people but I think it's more for personal reasons.
Not being interested in a show makes it hard to stay in fandom. My first fandom was "House MD". It was all-consuming, and we didn't have Twitter! When the show was canceled, after a year everyone sort of dribbled away. I miss that so much. I've met and made some RL friends. I hope you've been able to do that with SPN. You were a HUGE help to me during Jared's breakdown.
Twitter can be evil, even if it's not about fandom. I'd find I enjoyed an episode. Then went on twitter and saw people ranting, bitching, etc. which would materially affect how I perceived the episode. I stopped doing that. As someone else said, you have to get through an enormous amount of dross to get to the gold.
