OT.com doesn't seem to be the radical prequel hating community you're talking about here - you'd rather find that at the RLM boards, although even that one has a refreshing percentage of reasonable members with whom you can discuss.
At any rate, you'd be well advised to drop some of your silly delusions - there is no need in the world for a "united Star Wars fandom", and neither do you have any need to "fit in" anywhere when it comes to movies and online communities.
Just let it go. I've almost never encountered another user anywhere that also loved the silly droid antics in ROTS, yet I don't feel lonely or depressed because of that. Why would this be?
No not the whole community. To say that everybody on OT is a radical prequel hater would be like calling everyone on TFN Lucas's personal ball washers. If it was the whole community, I wouldn't be here. Yes, I do have a stronger preference for the original trilogy and I think Lucas is a jack ass for suppressing the original versions. But I won't go as far as to say that everything from 1983 on is utter crap.
As far as my "silly delusions" about a "united Star Wars fandom", I never said any such thing. No fandom is ever going to completely agree and it would be a "silly delusion" to think that way. But I would site that Star Trek fans don't rage at others who have a preference for one series or another. I've never been called a fool or barraged with critique and criticism every time I've said that I only like the Classic Trek series and movies and have no interest in Next Generation. I don't see Doctor Who fans who prefer the old and new serials throwing jelly babies back and forth at one another. They may not all agree, but they at least can get along and accept each other's differences in their fandom.
