Quite an emotional stir here. Glad I can raise some dust.
Of course I didn't mean to characterize GL as a child molester. That's a ridiculous assumption. I will admit that perhaps the timing of that comment was off a bit with the Jackson trial, but I don't see that anyone who has commented took it that way Bizzle. Klingon_Jedi is spot on with his comments. But fame and extreme amounts of money can work wicked ways on people, even the most innocent and creative. And I find it hard to believe that anyone who has worked and lived in conditions similar to Lucas, Jackson, Hughes, Bill Gates, etc etc etc can really have a firm grasp on what us- the common folk (take that as you will)- feel and want in life. No one here is starting a jihad against GL; instead we debate and joke and speculate and ramble as any group of friends who share similar interests would. We express opinions. Very few people here express their opinions in a manner that pretends to be *fact* or even superior to other's opinions. But occasionally one pops in. Such is life. But how can anyone respect the opinion of someone whose stance is "you guys are dickheads because you express opinions"? I find it hard to.
One thing I like about the OT.Com forums is that most of the comments seem to be from educated, worldy individuals who love the subjects that they talk about. Even if some (myself included) like to poke fun at things and occasionally run rampant with analogies. There are plenty of websites where one can read endless posts of 'this sucks', 'that sucks', 'you suck', 'he/she/it sucks' if that's what you enjoy reading. I personally don't. So I'll stick around and I'd wager others will too. At least Bizzle's posts are expressed like an opinion- I can respect that.
