I don't attack people, but I will attack opinions if I believe they are wrong. "Hating" the 2004 editions is a complex subject. Do I hate the edited films as a whole? No, they're still decent works of entertainment. Do I hate many of the changes? Yes, because they directly destroy some of the beautiful concepts and feelings the film evokes. I do not like cheapened art and therefore I believe everyone should dislike most if not all of the special-edition changes to the Star Wars films. George Lucas is very fallible.

DVDActive, particularly their site administrator gave the OOT a favorable review yet bashed everybody who said there was nothing wrong with the release being non-anamorphic. I stuck up for another person who was simply pointing out that no matter what people are always going to be unhappy with Lucas. I perfer the OOT but enjoy the 2004 editions too. Now we can at least legally choose which version we want to watch. It's great having both.

Well, it sucks that you were banned. That administrator sounds like a childish dipstick. But, I must inform you that there is something very wrong with releasing the films in a non-anamorphic format.
“People are always going to be unhappy with Lucas,” eh? And that somehow gives Lucas the right to avoid criticism when he releases some of the greatest films of all time in a style that is well below the industry standard? I should just shut up and be thankful that this is at least part of what I’ve always wanted and commend George Lucas?
I, and many others, would be perfectly happy if the OUT were given the same treatment as his crappy edited versions. That would be meeting standard expectations in the industry that George could easily afford and then easily make a profit on. That is all most of the complainers wanted. You and that fellow you defended are clearly insulting my intelligence in a passive way by claiming that I’d “always” be unhappy and I don't appreciate that at all. That is by no means a fact to “point” out.
