Ken, you actually seem like a kind and gentle person, so let me try, just this once, to explain something...

There are many things in this world that I recognize as being wrong that I am not passionate enough about to protest.

...

If someone came up to me when I was eating a chicken nugget and said "hey, don't you realize you're eating a tortured chicken?", I'd have to say something like "yeah, I know, it's probably wrong, I'm sorry but I don't want to deal with that right now."

...

So much good in this post and I have a fondness for analogies. Also, I had Chicken McNuggets today. The Monopoly contest always draws me in. I share your views on animal treatment vs tasty meat.

I also appreciate that Star Wars preservation ranks above chicken torture in your list of concerns ;)

So just because we support anything GL does where called Lucas apologists?

I must join the chorus here...YES, that is precisely what makes one an apologist!

The word "apologist" is not inherently negative. It refers to defending a position against all criticism. It usually refers to those who defend religion. It takes on a negative connotation because apologists are immune to any other reasoning or debate. Their role is simply to defend.

And as you admit here, you support anything GL does. That's simply dogmatic and blind to reason. We're not people who dislike Star Wars. We're just honest people who aren't afraid of critiquing poor decisions.

We have no reason to defend or support anything GL does. Only those who wish to maintain an income at LFL do.
