I totally agree that what people have been doing is outrageous. I don't think anyone has the right to send death threats or silence stories. It's horrible and is not in any way acceptable from fans or people generally.
That said, art exists to provoke and I think asking questions, about the processes we use to create it, the relationship we have with our audiences, are important ones that we should ask, and not feel we are being ungrateful in doing so. Viewers - in any medium - are part of the process, and depending on who and what and how, sometimes very important ones.
My main problem with CoE is not the story they told, it's how they told it. For a variety of reasons. The affect that that has had and the reasoning behind it.
(though I am of course glad that some people do seem to like it, such as yourself. I just wish I could be one of them!)
