You know, most regular people, even if they may see us as extremists for the fact that we spend all our time bitching and doing our own preservations, share our basic sentiments.

The people who write us off--that idiot on certainpointofview blog who refers to us as "the tea party" and some fools on bluray.com or TFN. Those are the typical Lucas apologists fanboys. Of course they feel that way about us! But the truth is that those people represent a very slim cross-section of the fanbase. Why do you think most articles about the BDs are talking about how outrageous it's all gotten? People like TFNers partly exist as a reaction to us, just as we partly exist as a reaction to the Lucas/SE situation. I think most people would not feel the need to comment on this website, it's only the hardcore kool-aid drinkers who have to feel the need to slag the site, and it's only out of an insecurity to defend what they like, you can't write off NYPost or CNN or any of the other big-ticket sites writing about the badness of the BD situation, but a central collective like this place is a perfect target. Because really, if you go to most websites, people aren't saying anything so different from us here, it's only when you go to places like TFN and bluray.com and apologists blogs that you hear all the ridiculous ignorance and hoop-jumping and ot.com bashing. The three usually tend to go hand in hand.
