I appreciate the feedback.. but understand that focusing on the messenger, rather than the message, is falling for logical fallacies.

Star Wars, and all the rest of culture, has turned into a shit show (credit to Voat for being one of the last to fall). I'm in no way suggesting that we surrender our sense to Lucas, Disney, or anyone else. In fact, that is the opposite of my point. Don't let anyone corrupt your sense.

No, it's ok to notice and talk about what people are doing. Focusing on the messenger or the message can be a way to distract from something noteworthy about the other.

I think I agree. Perhaps I should have said "solely focusing on", or focusing on at the expense of realizing the truth in the message.
