While these clues are, no doubt, superfluous for readers here since Forum participation itself warrants a presumptive diagnosis of Cohenphilic Personality Disorder, I mention this list in deference to the fact that the majority of the signs were directly inspired by (i.e., ripped off) Forum posts I've come across (details have been changed to protect the afflicted).
Three examples of such Forum-derived warning signs of Cohen Fan Syndrome follow:
You May Be A Leonard Cohen Fan If …
- You have constructed a six page spreadsheet of Cohen’s preferences in furnishings, condiments, household accessories, and foodstuffs from data garnered from studying photos and videos of Cohen being interviewed in his home.
- You think Phil Spector should have already been in jail for ruining Leonard Cohen’s “Death Of A Ladies’ Man” album.
- You’ve taken to bestowing blessings on friends instead of saying goodbye.
