Yeah an overreaction, but the world seems to run on labeling people who disagree with them now. If, for example, I find Amazon's butchering of Tolkien's work in Rings of Power pathetic, I'm not someone with a differing opinion on the work, I'm a "hater."

I should have known that's not how you meant it and shouldn't have responded the way I did. My apologies.
I never realized that "detractor" has such a negative connotation. I would consider "butcher" in a similar ballpark.
