Let me add something here for this debate, and it'll be the only time I do this, because I usually ignore all the trollers here and ask for everyone to do the same. While AWK behaviour justifies a unforgivable ban, and I support Jay if him (and only him) choses to do so, I must play the devil's advocate on his points and views. I've read AWK's justification for liking the prequels, the SEs, and all that stuff, and to me it seems like a valid point - I say "seems", because I could be wrong, and not fully understanding what he is saying. But his point is that to him, the whole SW began with TPM, so he sees the whole saga from a different point of view. Because of that, he has other opinions, as he has made connection to the films in a different way. Do I agree with him? Absolutely not, but... since he has a different point of view, and therefore a different opinion, we should as well respect that. It would be like, banning a deaf person because they don't agree that John William's score for the films is great, well, that person had a different point of view, and therefore a different opinion, which will never be the same as ours. From day 1 I've always said, I support people who appreciate the SEs posting here, because this is a democratic and free forum, and we are to raise our opinion based on TWO different views, and neither side is absolutely correct.

Unfortunally, AWK's behaviour has not been acceptable, no matter what opinion he has, so if we do anything about it, let it be because of his behaviour, NOT for his opinions.
