That's all well and good, but what about all of the legitimate comments
that don't attack Gwen's character, from reasonable people who still
think this story is an abomination for any number of reasons that have
been well documented in recent days?  Don't spend your time hiding behind
a strawman made out of the arguments of a bunch of misogynistic jerks,
how about actually addressing the questions like how you thought this
would possibly fit into established continuity, and how in the HELL it
actualy seemed like a good idea to piss on some folks' fond memories of
a departed character.

If they are, or seem to you, legitimate comments, wherefore then should they
require comment?

You mean aside from the fact that that's one of those "are you still beating
your wife?" questions?

Otherwise I can't think of a thing.
