I'm sorry but I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you. I think you are mischaracterizing some things in the original post.
"You got what you wanted and you're still complaining! Some people will never be happy!"---> I don't think re-takers got what they wanted, and they should continue to voice complaints about what is on the disc and about what they would like to see in the future. Still, totally dismissing the free DLC before actually seeing any of the content is just being overly pessimistic. The fact of the matter is, you don't know exactly what it is going to be. I think it's reasonable to continue to voice your complaints about what is already on the disc, and to wait and see what bioware gives us. I'm not saying "you got what you wanted." Clearly you didn't. But Bioware could have just done nothing, and instead they are trying to explain something. The new ending might not be perfect, but who knows? It might be significantly better.

"The artistic vision of the Mass Effect team must be preserved!"---> I've never bought the whole "artistic vision" argument. But I think that Bioware has a right to leave their endings as is if they are proud of their own work. If you don't like it, you should tell them and if they continue to disappoint you, stop buying their products. I used to love weezer. Now I think they suck. I don't demand that they change their albums to suit my tastes, I just don't buy them anymore. I don't think their recent albums have "artistic integrity," but they can do whatever the hell they want. I still listen to their debut album and Pinkerton, but other than that I don't care. It sucks, but if you don't like something just don't buy it. It has nothing to do with "artistic vision."
"The ending is good. It just needs explanation and clarification."--> Regardless of whether or not you think the endings were good, I think clarification could improve the endings. Your squad suddenly appeared on the normandy and joker ran away. There is no explanation for this, and it sucks. If they came up with an adequate explanation for this, it would significantly improve the ending. A lot of people complain about the inconsistency with arrival. If Bioware adequately explained why the crucible destroyed the relays without wiping out systems, it would improve the ending. Some people complain that there is no closure. An added epilogue could address this concern.
"LOL did you seriously expect a new ending?"-->It takes a lot of time to make video game content, yet people were demanding that bioware address the ending problem soon. If you expected totally different endings, you should expect to wait a long time. Also, as I said earlier, Bioware should not have to scrap their ending if they are legitimately pleased with it. If you don't like it, vote with your wallet.
"Stop complaining. It's free!"-->I agree that this is a non-argument. But there are posters on the forum who say that "Bioware will not be getting any of my money grr grr" and my response to them is: you can see what Bioware is attempting to do without giving them any more of your money. And if you see the new ending and still don't like it, feel free to complain and criticize. I would encourage it.
"Retakers have won, shut up already."-->Retakers have not won, but at least this is a step in the right direction? Bioware could have just done nothing. Or they could have released paid DLC that had nothing but cutscenes (some posters here have already indicated that they would have bought that). At least there's an attmept to fix some of the problems?
By all means
keep holding the line if you feel that's what you gotta do, but some of the violent reaction here is utterly ridiculous (i'm not referring to you, OP. I'm just talking about some of the stuff I've seen here today generally speaking).
