I can only answer this for myself, as he has ruined the OOT for me, simply because I can't watch the damn movies in any good quality anymore.

Now, see, if SkyJedi and VaderHayden would express themselves like that, I wouldn't have near as much of a problem with them as I do now. Problem is, they state their (undeniably strong) opinions about the changes and PT as though they were unequivocal facts. Honestly, that grinds my gears more than anything. People really need to learn the difference between fact and opinion. Whenever I make strong statements along the lines of what the two of them say, I always have the sense to preface it with an "I think" or an "In my opinion" or an "As far as I'm concerned".

Just because something's an opinion doesn't mean it can't also be fact. I'm not going to hypocritically pretend I don't really believe in my opinions by limiting them with an "I think". I believe in them. If you have a problem with that, well then that's your problem. Getting so worked up over the way posters express themselves is pretty petty.

And, God in Heaven, someone please tell me VaderHayden did not just say it was wrong to like a particular piece of art. That is... unbelievably ignorant. And when a conservative like me calls someone ignorant, you know there's a problem.

Not ignorant, simply taking a different view of art. I don't see art as being as purely subjective as some people. Yes it is wrong to like it when great art is mutilated.

You've accused me of being ignorant before. You need to stop assuming that people who have a different approach from you are ignorant or need to learn something. Maybe your approach isn't the only way. When it comes to opinions, I think it's rather more important to be tolerant of different approaches than to go around sticking "I think" before everything you say. The latter is just cosmetic, the former is something real.
