Fair enough. I don't. I didn't hold back because this thread is about resentment after all. I'd be interested in hearing if others think it was just the easiest way to give us the OOT or if George wanted to deliberately release an inferior version to convert more to his revised vision. In my mind he has become a petty, ignorant man who I can easily believe would have those kind of intentions.

From the standpoint that it was a bonus disc and was actually released in some form: OK, maybe not a deliberate slap in the face. More like a younger sibling waving a hand right in front of your face while yelling "I'm not slapping you! I'm not slapping you!" The fact is he knew he would get a lot of people's money twice and that the ones most looking forward to the GOUT release would be the most disappointed.

Forcing revisions into a classic work of art and destroying the originals that so many hold dear IS a deliberate slap in the face however, and the fact that the OOT was not restored and released properly in the first place with the '04 set is the real issue.
