...that guy who saw the special edition in 1997 said "this is like watching your childhood being raped for 2 hours."
The guy was a trekkie...But did not give JJ Trek the same treatment, when the other trek nerds cried JJ raped our childhoods.
Abrams made a Star Trek film. A new film you either like (I do) or don't like. A film you can either watch (I do) or not watch. It has absolutely no bearing on anything that came before.
A new film, telling a new story, by a new director is entirely different than a director going back to an old film and editing in new scenes and changing established, original characters - and then lying about it.
