I think it's understandable skyjedi wanting to say what he said on this thread. This thread was basically started to praise Lucas. For some people at least, it hurts to see Lucas praised after what he's done. And it's not like he's not praised enough over on some other sites.

But if we're in the business of making complaints, what about johnboy getting personal with me and skyjedi? Disagree with an opinion, disagree with a topic being brought up on a thread where you feel it doesn't belong? Fine. But getting personal is something else and doesn't have a place in civilized discussion. Just because somebody doesn't like somebody's opinion or how they express it doesn't license them to get personal and start calling people ignorant or whatever. That is far more seriously out of line than bringing up a topic some people don't want to hear about on a particular thread. I want to try to get on with people, but that's made difficult if some people are going to take the attitude that they're entitled to get personal if they don't like my posting style or views.

I'm sorry if I've bothered anybody. I don't mean to be a trouble to anybody. But I believe I have a right to express my opinions in the way that feels right for me and I really don't appreciate it when a poster descends to gratuitous aggression.
