I stopped posting there the moment everyone lept to Lucasfilm's defense after they announced they were putting 1993-quality transfers on frickin' dvd.

Did anyone there make ridiculous arguments like "It's 1970s film quality! You can't ask for any better!"?

 The saddest lines were from TFN'ers who tell OOT fans regarding the 2006 OOT Non-Anamorphic DVD's:

"You are getting what you deserved now, since you have disrespected him for years now.  Just remember Lucas said these versions don't exist, so you should be lucky you're getting anything!"

Statements like that always seemed odd to me since we were all SW fans?  As much as I don't like the Prequels, I would always support a release of the Original PT movies if Lucas decided to change those movies too.  I never understand why TFN'ers cared if Lucas decided to release the OOT versions, since they were Special Editions fans anyway?  As a SW fan, I wouldn't have a problem if Lucas released a Boxset of the OOT, '97, '04, '11 versions like Bladrunner, that way any fans of any version could be happy. 

Very strange people over at TFN, but I would love to talk to them personally and see if they are just circling the wagons for Lucas or they actually believe the BS they say.
