I'm glad this thread was started because I'm already tired of coming on here and seeing people ragging on Kishimoto. Before anyone says anything, I know that everyone has a right to their opinions, and I'm glad for that. I'm not saying otherwise or trying to censor or ban people. I just think it's weird to go to a Naruto site, a place where there are bound to be a large number of Naruto fans, and say the guy who did it can't write. "Oh, I hate Kishi! Kishi can't write!" Well, then why are you on the freakin' Narutopedia!? That seems like purposely baiting people, either to get attention or to start a fight. If someone really didn't like the series/author, it would make more sense to go on an anti-Naruto page (I'm sure there are some out there).

I can understand the disappointment with how the series ended. I don't have a problem with people who come on here and say, "I didn't like how it ended," "I didn't like the last few arcs," "I lost interest after such-and-such happened", "This should have been done differently," "I didn't care for this revelation", etc. Those are honest opinions from people who really are fans of the overall series. My only issue would be with people who were longtime fans and then criticized the series/author after the end, as if they never were fans. Being disappointed in the ending or final arcs shouldn't negate your fanship of the earlier arcs.
