But the real difference between TFN and OT is that divergent opinions are at least tolerated over here, and even given a chance to be heard even if not agreed with. Sure, you'll find vehemently hostile purists here, but not nearly as many as there are vehemently hostile "gushers" over there. I was at TFN for over a year, and basically any contribution I attempted to make to any SW discussion was immediately shouted down by a multitude of voices. Not discredited or rebutted or argued with; simply shouted down and subsequently ignored.

The EXACT same thing happened to me over there. I always felt like I was being ganged up on if I expressed a dislike with anything Lucas did. Even worse, the attacks against me were extremely juvenile. There's no point in even trying to defend yourself when you're up against that.

This site exists partly because of some of the great things Lucas was responsible for, and also exists partly because of the bad choices Lucas has made. So by nature this site and the people who enjoy posting here have a dual-sided attitude towards Lucas.
