I'm shocked that skyjedi didn't start this silly thread.
Boo! Leave skyguy alone! So he hates everything, at least he knows exactly why and who is to blame. He is often right, and I would rather hear it a dozen times than not at all. I will concede to being in the minority, but I'm sure there are others who miss skyjedi.
Right there along side you, doubleKO. I loved that guy's rants. They were often extremely entertaining. Many times I felt the exact same way he did.
I am not even sure if we are in the minority. I remember hearing plenty of others say they felt the same way about him as I did. I think we have only a small yet VERY vocal group that can't stand him. Fink and DJ are the only two I've seen rip into him regularly and consistently.
He really captured the spirit of this place and the way many of us have felt over the last decade or so. When people started treating him like a troll kind of felt like the day this place lost its purpose. A bit melodramatic of me? Sure. But this place isn't what it once was. (When I was a newb I remember Dayv, Sean, and others saying the same thing, and thinking they were total queens for it, so it is funny to me that I've felt this way the last few years).
OT.com used to be this great sanctuary of nerd angst. We were all frustrated and nobody cared, which added to our frustration. In the grand scheme of things, alterations to films are not a big deal, no lives are being lost because of this, the world isn't changed in even some tiny way by it, it simply doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that Indy is now flying in lead lined refrigerators or that Darth Vader build C3PO. Nobody gives a crap. It doesn't matter. They are just dumb movies.
OT.com was the place you went to where it matter, where people cared, and where you could talk about it. Here, these things were the end of the world, were matters of life and death, and we were allowed to be overly concerned about them, and to each go about our own ways of helping each other come to terms.
Like fight club for anal retentive nerds.
