They have no basis for the KJV superiority complex they have, so they do smear tactics. They try to defame ppl's character. If you can't assassinate their stance, assassinate their character.
Personally, I think the KJV needs pulled off the shelves of all stores and online sites. Its ran its course, and now its time to put it to pasture. Not that I think its a bad translation, but 1) its antiquated 17th century Elizabethan language that no one speaks in today's world, and 2) all the lunacy and goonacy the KJVOnlyists show forth in their anti-modern versions stance.

Who wants an NIV Bible that keeps changing? Or a version that says Christ is a liar by removing, yet.
Not to mention all the shady people involved. Like Rupert Murdoch getting a knighthood from the Catholic church (zondervan). Etc.
Or Strong's, Thayer's, vines, Westcott and Hort and whoever else, working together on committee's.
Also, if the KJV is a grade 4/5 school level, and is meant to be read from beginning to end, and you've never read it before and jump to revelation, of course your not going to easily understand it.
But that's the reader, not bothering to learn it.
The problem today is, that people are impatient and want to understand it now, right now, like brats. Lazy teenager moaners.
Just read it. Do the work. If you don't understand a word, use the internal dictionary method +, and if you definitely need to know what a unicorn actually is, maybe your a little too picky for any Bible. Or just look it up.
Your choice. But don't expect everyone to just accept the "Amazingly easy New messed up, lazy" versions, because you don't like the KJV.
I'm not keen on the KJV, but it's the only Bible I can find that does NOT, have the issues of new versions (Westcott and Hort versions). Or confused versions (thee, thou, removed etc).
You can all read what you want. But don't say I can't have a KJV and want it removed from shelves, because of your personal preference.
Besides, people who used to have most versions and still do, because I don't feel right, burning even New versions, funilly enough, get upset and angry, every time I find a flaw or a doctrine change.
So I'll stick with time tested, UK, America dominating KJV, and not the seemingly dead and feminine (human) new versions. After all, what have they achieved in the world compared to the KJV?
You buy enough and make enough study bibles, so why not try KJV versions of it's too difficult? But they are also dangerous in my opinion, just because of denomination slants. So, yeah, whatever. God will do what God does, anyway. Whether we follow or not.
