Mr. S:

I've been reading this group for over a year now, and I am curious about
something.  Oftentimes when people criticize the show, or a character or
whatever, you rise to its defense.  I could understand you answering
questions people have about different aspects of the story - that helps
us all.  But rebutting people who don't like X or Y or whatever?

Your work is your work.  There is no need to defend it or its quality.

So, why do you do this?

Chip

Usually, I don't...if someone doesn't like something, he doesn't like
something, that's fine and to be expected.  It's when someone deliberately
distorts something that I tend to get into it.

Why?

Because I'm an idiot, that's why.
