  No, of course you're welcome to your opinion. And if all you want to do
is vent, no problem. But this isn't an effective way to persuade people.
If I start off a conversation with "You're an idiot, do this instead,"
it's highly unlikely that I'm going to win the argument.

  Granted, I'm not in the position of having to defend the UC saga
against hostile Wing fans. But who says it needs defending? When it's
released next year, thousands of people will watch First Gundam and make
up their own minds (and my money's on the story quality outweighing the
lame animation). Some of them may even be the same UC-bashers you're
dealing with now. My advice would be to relax and let them discover the
error of their ways for themselves.

  Look, you have a Web site devoted to UC Gundam. Come next year, there
may well be thousands of newborn First Gundam fans looking for info on
this cool new show. Why not concentrate on getting ready to welcome fans
who _want_ to know more about it?
