For the sake of clarity, my use of the term ‘horrible monster’ was not meant to apply in any way to anyone here. It was intended only to allude to certain people I’ve met in real life who frustrate me far, far more than anyone on this site ever has, but I did not immediately realize that my phrasing was unclear and could be taken to refer to people here as well. My apologies for any offense caused by this.

At any rate, Jay is right that we all need to cool down, including me perhaps. There’s no need to walk on eggshells around each other, but it probably is for the best to avoid topics that inevitably seem to cause such vehement disagreement and resentment. As is usually the case, I now kind of wish I hadn’t said anything, but sometimes frustrations can’t always be contained into polite little boxes, I guess.

Editing to add: what are we all doing going on about this stuff for, anyway? 4K83 has just come out, so rather than waste energy arguing over this silliness, go check out oohteedee’s fantastic restoration work!
