For a clarification, please look up the term "Apologist", or a brief description below.

Colloquial usage

Today the term "apologist" is colloquially applied in a general manner to include groups and individuals systematically promoting causes, justifying orthodoxies, or denying certain events, even of crimes. Apologists have been characterized as being deceptive, or "whitewashing" their cause, primarily through omission of negative facts (selective perception) and exaggeration of positive ones, techniques of classical rhetoric.

Put simply Juju, had you made a post about how utterly perfect and fantastic SH4 is, the moderators would leave you alone...or perhaps even let you into their little circle.

BUT! In keeping with the above methods, you will now be browbeaten into submission using standard Orwellian tactics.

We hope you enjoyed this public service message, and remember our motto:

PAY YOUR DAMNED MONEY, KEEP YOU FREAKIN TRAP SHUT!

Thank you, and have a nice day.
They were simply pointing out to the OP there were many threads already discussing this topic.

There was no attempt to squelch his opinon.

Get the chip off your shoulder already its getting old.
