I see pro and con, and that is what this thread should be about.
If we precluded participation on the grounds of being "con", then this would develop into a totally one-sided lollipop-sucking celebration thread. What is the point of discussion, if you have to swear in advance to agree to a certain conclusion and perception?
The only thing that is really deplorable, is that fan-boys and haters alike are so used to each other, that they see nothing else. If you are not pro, then you are a hater, and if you are not con, then you are a fan-boy. It's like this:
Why is it so hard to listen to another persons opinion that starkly differs from yours, accept it as that being the opinion of someone else, and thats fine except perhaps for factual flaws, and leave it at that? Why place the opinion of someone else so far above your own, that you become offended?
How come it is impossible to see a flaw and perserve greatness? How come it is so hard to see utter immorality, yet acknowledge the odd great achievement or show of mastery and skill? How does the small part shatter the sum total, to the point that neither can accept it?
If these people would get out of their trenches, and see what others are ACTUALLY saying, and where there positions REALLY are, and stopped treating this issue as it was the holy wars, then we would a get a picture, like this:
...and guess what folks? Thats reality as it looks and comes. Stop the black and white thinking and see the world in colours.
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
