Fans are in an uproar over Rob's Threats to delete his Myspace

Well...there are thousands of teenage girls crying all over the world tonight...because according to the illustrious Mr. Pattinson's Twitter page, he is deleting his Myspace account. Actually, as of now his Twitter claims that he deleted it already; although the link still works and as far as I can tell the page is still available. I was just checking out the page and there are the typical pleas by fans that he keep the account open. I was discussing this with a friend of mine (JJ). We were trying to think of reasons why he would feel the need to do this. Let's first take into account that #1 it may NOT be the real Rob. It is most likely run by some PR person somewhere. If this is the case I imagine it is just for additional publicity and to keep the fans wanting more. Well, if this is the real Rob I also imagine he is being bombarded with messages from fans and it is just getting tiring. I have a Myspace account and every time I get a message, I get an email. I imagine he gets A LOT of emails.
We also need to examine the phenomenon of Twitter and Myspace and similar sites and the access that every day people have to famous people. Many famous actors, sports personalities and even politicians are Twittering and have Myspace and Facebook pages. I think it is a way for these people to connect to their fans, followers, believers or what have you. For the fans and followers...it is a way for them to get a glimpse at the fairytale. They feel closer to these people because it shows that they are really not so different. I actually find it refreshing that a lot of these "famous people" want to be connected to their fans, because let's be honest here...the fans are the reason they are where they are. A little appreciation is nice.
I actually think that it is kind of wrong for Rob to do that to his fans that really support him.
What do you think? Why is Rob deleting his account? Is it wrong to treat his fans that way?
