I take your point (and I am considering removing that kid and just replacing it with text because frankly, he disturbs me) but I would hold that my generalisation is correct in that you cannot cry 'Nostalgia' on anyone's opinion in any circumstance, unless you have somehow found someway to prove that that person did not feel how they say they felt at the time.

Perhaps in that person's opinion they weren't flawed or bad? Or perhaps they have taken the flaws into account and still reached the conclusion that it was great. Just because you don't agree with it, or the community in general doesn't agree with it doesn't make that person's opinion any less reliable. Also, you seem to be attributing those who have fond memories of something as being absolutists that may not be deserved. Saying "The community in XI was the best I ever experienced" does not mean that person believes each and every member of that community was great and there were no idiots.
