…get annoyed when users revert to childish behavior and mock people who like the Disney films. They are not policing people who disagree with them.

You mean like reverting to childish behaviour and mocking people for liking the prequels?
I would enjoy knowing why it’s okay for some people to be childish and mock people for their differing opinions, but not vice versa. I’d also like to know which lame justification I’ll get this time.
There are a lot of double standards here but I think the “you can’t disagree with me but I can disagree with you, and in turn mock you” may be the biggest one.
There’s not one sole perpetrator but the irony of arguments like these surely can’t be lost on everyone.

Nobody here is going to PrequelTrilogy dot com to bash the PT. If you want a place to discuss your PT love, maybe OriginalTrilogy dot com isn’t the best place.
Keep in mind that the only uniting thread we all share here is a love of the Original Trilogy. Don’t expect people to share or respect your opinion of anything else, but you are free to have whatever opinions your have on any subject. And everybody is free to state their disagreement and engage in debate.

Sorry Ray but this a very poor argument. If you follow your argument, the same could be said for TFA lovers: “If they want a place to discuss their TFA love, maybe OriginalTrilogy dot com isn’t the best place”.

I could get behind this as well. But there seem to be more TFA fans than not around here, so that’s how it goes. It would be the same if the PT ratio was flipped.
My point about OT love being the only thing to count on here stands.

So basically You’re saying mocking and insulting people is totally fine on any issue so long as “majority rules” on any given topic. I mean I know some threads can devolve into a big self important echo chamber at times, but it’s still pretty funny to get indirect confirmation.

Some people think TPM is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars, some people think TFA is, but really… Does it matter?
The fact that anyone in the world gets so bent out of shape about a movie they don’t like, that they need to mock people who do for almost 20 years, is new levels of ridiculous.
It’s even more ridiculous when those same people get what they’ve been dishing out for almost 20 years and can’t handle it.

Expecting some absurd unspoken mocking rule is not going to happen, people who go around mocking everyone and buckle down and get mad when the same thing is done to them just come off as sad.
