No offense taken. Again, this is supposed to be all in fun. If people really get insulted by something they read on the internet...

...I really don't know what else to say. Jay, feel free to lock this thread down and remove it.


Wow, some people just can't talk a joke (No olzen, I'm not referring to you, or anybody in particuliar)


Well, I admit "bullshit" is a strong word and I should probably have explained myself a bit. It was early morning

What can sometimes annoy me at this forum is the tendency for some people to just get insulted all the time because they have opinions that the majority apparently do not agree with. I was probably kinda fearing this would just be a moderator-supported version of that. It's probably primarily because I myself tend to agree with AWK on a number of issues - I'm not trying act all grown-up or kindergarten-ish here, but I think this place could do with a bit of tolerance. I'm here because I want to see the OT's preserved. I cannot see how it is relevant that I don't really mind Lucas' changes (it's the choice between new and old I want, obviously), the prequels (I probably watch ROTS more often than the OT) and I enjoy "Light The Sky On Fire". Although that glowing penis mic is a bit weird.

But none of this really matters here, because that has nothing to do with the cause of the website. Furthermore, I've noticed that some people are chosen as whipping boys and are basically told to shut up no matter what they do. If Lucas and his crew are watching this site, they must be busting their guts laughing because all of this bickering doesn't make anyone of us seem intellectual. Be aware that this is just what I think. I like this site and its cause a lot and I don't wanna turn into that obligatory n00b who just says the site sucks. I've tried to give a reasoning for why I think like I do here, but obviously, your mileage may vary. I hope this won't offend anyone.

I suppose I was just overreacting there earlier, so I'm sorry about that. If people won't mind looking inwards and laughing a bit of themselves, I don't suppose it could hurt.
