Personally I think the tone is currently just right.
People have tip-toed around Lucas for decades and it's got us nowhere.
The petition here is diplomatically worded (as was the previous one) the case is put with measured eloquence but it's not being listened to (just like the last one).
We need an alternative more angry but equally eloquent voice out there to be the outlet not only of our hopes but also of our displeasure.
If it falls upon deaf ears nothing has been lost but at least our frustration has been noted by others.
That was kind of my thinking too. We tried to ask "nicely" and "politely". But we have to be more aggressive and really underline how this is an afront to history, and ethics, not to mention the personal enjoyment of all those millions who gave Lucas the power to do this. We should stop pulling the punches, because we're being dishonest to the truth and letting Lucas get away with too much.
I don't want to come across as a ranting fanboy though. Puggo had a good point that if someone who wasn't already "on our side" had come to the site they shouldn't be alienated by this crazy ranting Star Wars nerd using perceived-hyperbole on the internet. Its a difficult balance I am still trying to work out. I'm redesigning the main page to first lay out what has happened, why it has happened, why that is bad, and what this sites purpose is. editorials are more personal and passioned, but I think the balance is settled by being informative. And then you have the resources page which is basically purely neutral supplemental material. I think the focus will become clearer as I add more material. I'm going to whip something up on the Blu Ray thing tonight if I can.
