That said, even when I dislike the direction a new edition/version takes as a whole, doesn't mean that I want to discount every single thing in it. I mentioned I hated the overall direction Teen Titans comics were going, but I loved Ms. Martian, and I'm now very glad she is in the Young Justice show. When good things are created, they should be retained for other adaptations, and when bad things are created, it's worth seeing if they can be revised and improved in other adaptations. Purists tend to be blind to all that.

You seem to have trouble putting a difference between fans and the creator of the original version himself.
As the creator of the original universe I think Pete has a right to be a purist about it.
