Plenty of people feel the same way as you. They just have nothing much to rail against currently so are relatively quiet compared to those who loved RTD's Who and don't like Moffat's. But when RTD was around he got much the same invective that Moffat gets now. Haters are louder than lovers I guess.
Even more people like both but they
really get shouted down :P
Personally, I appreciate / respect RTD's Who without really loving it (and yes, it quite often makes me cringe too) and love Moffat as a writer - a particularly freakish viewpoint it seems. Apparently I need to hate the one I don't have a preference for.

Really? You're 'surprised' by anything the poster of the literary masterpiece that is the OP said? Really??
