I don't get why "it's silly". If you know an awesome story, with great characters in a huge world, and see an adaptation butchering a lot of what you liked, it's not silly to be disappointed. For me, the problem is not that the show is different from the books, it's that the last season is bad compared to the books. So I'm disappointed in season 5, even if I liked the previous seasons and their changes.
And even about the differences, we've seen a lot of "debates" for other adaptations like LOTR or the terrible Eragon, based on their differences with the books. Imagine an Harry Potter adaptation as different from the source material as GoT. It would be a huge sh*tstorm on the Internet...
