Why do you feel the need to denigrate the KJV at virtually every turn?

I have other translations in my home that I revere as the scriptures, but by far do I have more confidence in the KJV being the most reliable. I can't prove nor disprove it, but it is a walk of my faith. In my walk with God I will continue to search for ways to be closer to Him and with an open mindedness in that path. I am not saying anyone is wrong about using other translations, but I think it is possible that there may be divisions created doctrinally if they each have different messages.
If I was a new believer this information overload would be hard to my faith. I am glad to have gotten a root system in God before ever getting the internet. The internet is an avenue of study, and many times I see and hear things online before coming against the issue in my personal life. I think that some things could confuse the simple or the new convert. I want people to view scripture as absent of error, but if people keep saying it must be corrected what is a new convert to think.
