It's fine to disagree with a story element, but I don't think there is a need to belittle anyone who enjoyed it. I enjoyed it, for however much sense I do or do not have, I enjoyed Venat a hell of a lot more than "giant whisper crystal in the middle of the earth" that we to deal with since before ShB. I'm also not a huge fanboy over Graha Tia, even if he has a massive cult, but I don't go out of my to belittle others over their choice. Besides, half of the people here didn't care at all at the end of ShB, when we found out that us living meant the continued death of the Ancients, they were right on board with "Whoo-hoo, kick Emet's butt!".
