That's nonsense. A sizeable part of this forum is devoted to comparing the SE to the OOT. I see no reason why, in the 'Off Topic' area, we can't compare the animated LWW to the film, or the animated LOTR to the films, or Hitchcock's 'Psycho' to Van Sant's remake, or Burgess' novel 'A Clockwork Orange' to Kubrick's movie, etc.
Ingo Sucks has expressed his opinion on these different versions of the LWW story. If he deems the new film "offensive" and allows himself to be upset by it then that is his own affair. I have expressed my opinion. I think that the new film is a bad film. Darth Chaltab has expressed his opinion. He thinks that the new film is good. How we express that opinion is our own affair.
I do think that this forum is not an appropriate place to express opinions as to the character of other members. That, I think we should all keep to ourselves.
To me, "we've had trouble with arrogant, whiny people here in the past" comes across as the most arrogant statement so far.
