To be fair, they might be new to the way things might go here, and at times, threads, either about manga, of Superman films, or even the new Ninja Turtles, get started up not simply to discuss it, but also to criticise and disect it.
So, it's not automatically a given that people like it because there's a thread, or a long lasting thread about it. Just look at the various different arguments, or discussions, in the Fantastic Four thread; it's gone on a very long while, and despite dashes of apathy or positivity, negativty mixed in, of course, as with everything.
So, please, try to be a bit more understanding of them saul, as I'd say it would make a difference for them.
