As opposed to y'all coming in and telling people who like Rose that they're insane? My point is that there are people who are fans of almost every companion who like to think that there is companion is 'OMG the bestest evah!' and that there's very little that can be said to dissuade them, because it's their strong personal belief.
I don't think Rose is the absolute best companion the Doctor's ever had. I adore old-school-style companions like Ace (nice icon), Romana (I'm partial to Romana I, actually), Tegan (you wanna talk about somebody who didn't put up with the Doctor's crap?), Leela... the list goes on. But there's a big difference between saying that other companions have been wonderful too, and denying what RTD's written because you don't happen to like it. I know that if we have another series of the Doctor doing everything save chucking himself under a bus over his Rose/Gallifrey/Master angst (not necessarily in that order), I don't know how much of the audience they're going to retain. I certainly hope they're going somewhere with this, that doesn't involve some handwaving to just act like his depressive period - for lack of a better term - never happened.
