I'm all for discussion, no matter if what you say is negative or positive. Heck, to an extent, I don't even mind "overhating". Take the Star Wars prequels, for instance. People have been talking about how horrible those movies have been for years, but nearly two decades down the line and we've got reviewers like RedLetterMedia dissecting these movies in interesting, throught-provking ways that no one else had done before them.

But in the case of episodes like "No Such Luck" and "Brawl in the Family", there hasn't been any progression in the discussion. All the shortcomings have been talked about 'TO DEATH. 'There isn't anything about these episodes that everyone, their mother, their dog, and their fleas haven't pontificated enough about already. That's not to say that anything new can't be thrown in the gauntelt, but we haven't gotten to that point yet. Everything bad that's been said about these episodes has been already said. Besides reitering the same tired points, what purpose do these overhaters think they have with their tedious repetition? I

And that doesn't even touch upon something even mroe egregious; the petition requests, oh Lord, the petition requests. No, they're not going to take an episode you don't like off the air because you have one hundred signatures from similar-minded people who act just as entitled as you. Your pain and discomfort don't change the reality that a). you're more than capable enough to avoid watching something that you know will tick you off and b). that there are fans of things that you despise, and they shouldn't have to suffer because you lack the common sense and self-control to be level-headed.
