About now, we're getting to the part where we get told we're being too picky about the changes and the transfers, they aren't that bad, we can never be satisfied etc.. Now, someone explain to me why these SAME people are always the ones that get completely cunty about the matte lines and R2D2's black squares and all the other terrible flaws in the original versions?
They're people who can't come up with good arguments and, as a result, they must resort to hypocritical rhetoric?
I actually think their main problem is that they don't have much of anything they personally care about. They don't understand the idea of preserving something good and they, instead, simply want to see something new over and over again. Therefore, when they see us arguing for something we value, they feel threatened by our discriminating tastes in relation to their lack of standards. Often their best response (to make themselves feel better) is to argue for a standard which is apposed to all other standards.
I've run into people like this in many different places. Their approach is illogical but they strangely feel self-righteous and good about themselves anyways.
