Sorry to interject, I'm gonna try and be civil to both of you. Obviously you guys are both pretty passionate about your beliefs in Star Wars. I don't mean to come to one persons' aid over the other but from every post I've seen of Go-Mer's I've never once thought of him as a "Troll". What do you define as a troll? Would it be because he has differing views from yours? Is it because he feels that George shouldn't release a better version of the OOT on DVD? Has he acted arrogantly? Or is it simply because he sees merit with the Prequels and voices his opinion so? I've seen him post here, give his beliefs but when told he was coming on too strong backed off and realized that "hey, perhaps I'll cool it abit". The guy obviously understands when he's pushing buttons.....so I say again, is he so frowned upon because he offers an alternative point of view? I thought among other things, in the appropriate threads wouldn't enlightened conversations like that be welcomed? I can't say that I've seen everything Go-Mer has posted and maybe he has acted inappropriately but from what I've seen this isn't the case.

The reason I am defending him here is because basically nobody else will. I mean it does send off some red flags with the amount of people that are pissed off at him that could mean that he comes off a little arrogant, but surely defending or even offering alternative responses to a thread topic should not result in such chastisation should it? I know I'm not a regular here, I've been coming for the last little while to read up on discussions and I've noticed one thing that has happened, that has changed since I came. When I came here I told them which Star Wars I preferred and I was still welcomed regardless. Now I see personal attacks thrown Go-Mer's way when he hasn't really warranted such behaviour. On the flipside though maybe I haven't seen you in full anti-OOT swing and maybe you should cool it Go-Mer. I don't know for sure. I understand that we're all pretty passionate and we all just rub each other the wrong way sometimes. No need to bring it down a level to petty attacks though.
