I missed AS myself, and was disgusted by the sniping of the loud few who did their best to make it miserable for those of us who wanted to just have fun and maybe learn a few things.

I do not think it is New Yorkers who are against Tara though, at least not alone. I have nothing against NY returning. I had a character there, myself, and was lucky enough to avoid the flamers. My concern is more the feeling that one city or another does not belong, because of picky purists, or fears that the same old unhappy few will return to cause problems in other cities. My guess is, the more annoying people had characters in every city, and did not tend to concentrate their efforts on any one in particular.

I guess it boils down to "who has the right to decide who belongs?" The way I look at it, if someone doesn't like Tara or what happens there, why do they bother to even pay attention to it at all? Seems like they are wasting their time by looking, and wasting ours by complaining.
