Okay, then maybe this one will be more to your liking:

In other words, regardless of which side you stand on in this debate, don't you think it is a bit absurd to claim he should not be open to criticism?
I find this analogy rather absurd as Larry Miller has issued absolutely no comments on his motives for pulling this movie. I just don't see the correlation. I could just argue your story independently but it seems rather pointless.

As far as whether or not its fair to criticize LM for pulling the movie I would think that its dependent entirely on each individual & their attitudes. Besides, fairness is rarely consided as far as issuing criticism is concerned. I don't believe that its 'fair' to criticise the man with so few facts available but that's my opinion.
