Fansubbers vs. their leechers

[katikat]

Why is it okay for fan subbers to indicate that their leechers are dumb but not the other way around? Yes, I'm talking about the whole IRC vs. BT thing at Shinsen's. As much as I like their high quality subs - and I'm eternally grateful for them - I don't like their attitude. Yes, some people can't download via IRC. Others can't stand on their head, sing and juggle at the same time, thank you very much!

I think I would be not so hard on subbers, it is their work, they make the subs...their decision where to post it for download and if it is IRC so be it.I am busy person IRC for me is pain in the ass due the time I must spent to find what I want to find.I prefer torrents, quickier.

Of course it's up to them where they want to upload their work. I don't mind that. What I mind are the comments that implicate that you are dumb when you don't know how to use some tool. And lately, snappy posts appear rather often on their web page :(

Still they can express their opinion about their target group even if we do not like it. It is freedom of speach. No harm is done except the reader pride and I think we should be above it. Just one opinion who discoureged anyone to try to press them to distribute in the different ways.
