Part of me just wants to keep out of this completely, and not say anything, but I do enjoy taking part in this forum, even if I am quiet much of the time, and I try my best to keep up with it, even if I do fall behind now and then. I just can't believe the harsh criticisms and language going back and forth here lately. I have been following the whole Kurgan blue-Tie_Fighter debate, and although I may not agree with his tactics, I also do not agree with how it has been handled, and I do agree with much of what he said in his above post. This is indeed an open forum, which Adywan has allowed us to use to share and bounce ideas off each other, because it is obvious that Adywan is interested in hearing our ideas and feedback. Of course, in the end, it is Adywan's edit, and I'm pretty sure we are all confident that he will again astound us with his next chapter in the Revisited saga. But that doesn't mean that we can't voice our concerns and opinions about the ideas being brought up in here. I, like many others here, have ideas which would be nice to see Adywan take into consideration. And what isn't a big deal to one person might be very important to somebody else. If Adywan states matter-of-factly that a certain idea will not come to fruition, then so be it, and once that has been said, I don't think it is wise to continue to badger him about it. It is his project. But if somebody here in the forum wants to diplomatically discuss certain ideas with other members of the forum, I don't think it is right that anybody should verbally attack members just because they are tired of hearing about it.
Now, again, it was obvious that Kurgan was starting to get on Adywans nerves, and there's a point when it should stop. But please try to remember that we are all fans of not only the original trilogy, but especially Adywan's treatment of it, and I am rather turned off lately at the hostility being displayed here. We are all here for the same thing, people. There are lots of newcomers lately, and they may not yet have a feel for when "enough is enough", as some of the senior members do. I hope everybody here remembers that the next time they see a post they don't like. There are obviously times when something is so negative, and so un-called for, that somebody should say something. But the angry, snappy, profanity-laden posts that have been appearing here lately is not being constructive in the least. This project is still over a year away. There's PLENTY of time to spend discussing all kinds of little details and big details, and if something drags on a bit longer than some would like, ignore it, and it will go away soon enough. Let's all try to keep this forum a friendly and welcoming place for all.
