Musing on various basher complaints

I've been mulling over the typical complaints bashers have regarding the prequels (as well as ROTJ), mostly because I read a nice article in favor of the prequels that was immediately bombarded by the usual smug detractors. I don't intend to convert anyone to liking the prequels; first off I'm not aware of any bashers who read my journal :P and second because people's opinions are seldom swayed by a few mere words. Mostly, I'd just like to acknowledge that I am aware of these supposed problems; I don't just blindly gloss over them, and I have reasonable explanations for why I don't consider them problems myself. :shrugs: Maybe it's all just because I'm bored and need something to ramble about.
