It could be that the ones who are criticizing those who criticized RTD are doing so because they believe (not that this is true) that the reasons to criticize RTD are childish and not well thought out and are the product of crazies. A lot of the people screaming about what happened in COE and then about RTD aren't using the most cogent arguments.

I thought that at first, but I'm getting the vibe of the pseudo-sophisticate about some of them. Those people really annoy me. They're the ones who prattle on about "real life" as if it was some kind of sign of superiority that their idea of real life is one of irrational, brutal, meaningless, and painful existence, and therefore fiction should also be that way.
