Well, friends and neighbors, I was purusing dejanews and saw the little slander by Justin below. He says that he has never claimed people weren't true fans if they liked new episodes. Well, I did a quick dejanews search and found about 10 examples of him and others bashing those who like the new episodes. Please see them below.

The problem people have with Justin (and a few others) is NOT that they don't like the new episodes. The problem we have is that they INSULT those of us who do, and say we aren't real fans. This contributes NOTHING to this newsgroup except animosity.

If you'd like to see how those who like the new episodes have been insulted, just read below.

Frankly, I like to hear critiques of the new episodes (old ones as well). What I DON'T like is to be insulted and called a psuedo-fan because preferences differ from another's.

Oh really? Then explain these comments:

Ohh how stupid - no truly DEDICATED fan would ever drop to such low levels as to use that stupid Elaine "spongeworthy" deal from the New Episodes. Ugh.

Here, let me DELETE one:

I recall that whole muffin tops crap was from one of the NEW episodes - and I, one of the most dedicated fans out there, will not take part in that kind of crap.

Justin:

Thanks. Just thought I'd provide you some backup in the "holy war" against the Sein-infidels who blaspheme the spirit of the show by blindly accepting this season's pap.

How are they going to manage going out in a "blaze of glory"? Pending a miricle, I certainly won't miss the show when it ends this year, nor will many other dedicated fans.

And you call yourselves "fans"? Sheesh. Your nothing more than puppets of the Cultural System.

I agree entirely with Entertainment Weekly. They know exactly what they are talking about. There are these clowns out in our society who claim that Seinfeld is the best it's ever been. But many, many top-quality critics have denounced this season's episodes. Folks, *wake up*, this season stinks!

Good work. Justin has been undone by his own quotes.

I picture him as a lonely 15 year old, who watches too much television, and spends too much time on the internet. When Justin works at it, he can be thoughtful, but mostly he pretends to knowledge and experience which he simply doesn't possess.

Looks like Justin has moved on, or is lurking. He is welcome back if he will behave.

15? Like that kid who works at the video store that Elaine gets infatuated with, and who asks her to bring him over some vodka and fireworks? Beautiful...

I totally agree with Maria! Justin Tribble is an opinionated pain-in-the-ass. Her letter below proves so. And believe me, I have ready many more than the ten posts below. I am sure there are others who would also agree.

You know, Tribble is not such a bad word. First you have the "trib", and then you have the "buhl". It's actually quite nice.
