Just posting to point out Mall is pulling all of this out of, from best I can tell, this one post from two months ago. That's about only post I can figure he's referencing when he asks you to "look at who is opposing it in this thread." It is demonstrably false to say that the primary supporters of a repeal are fascists. The primary supporters of the repeal appear to be people who don't like coups. Followed waaaaaay back there by fascists or nazis. I don't think any suggestion to the contrary is in good faith.
I'm not going to suggest that the people more connected with Lazarus, or younger than myself are out of line when they push for this repeal. All those prior episodes didn't affect some of these posters as much as his most recent ones, and some of these people weren't around to know EW as anything other than the coup guy.
For me, while it is tempting when I see an argument like Mall's which is that dishonest to take the opposite side, I am still personally in the against camp on this one. EW definitely should not have done what he did in Lazarus. And if EW was going to do what he did in Lazarus, he definitely should have done a better job. I wasn't a fan of PRL, and now thanks to EW almost all criticisms of it are now basically dead because most of the critics out PRL-d the PRL. Not to mention, those criticisms were exhausting and never ending for month after month is this forum right up until the day he proved them all hollow. But one episode cannot define someone with a history as long as EW. It seems major now because it is the most recent episode, but there were a whole lot of seasons of this show before this one.
I just don't see how this Lazarus thing is weighty enough to matter in the overall course of EW's time on NS. I suspect I'm in the minority on that, but that's where I am.
