The Whole Armor of Mopology

I can't help but think these things when I see some of the so-called "apologist" or "apologist in waiting". Since my first experience with MDDB, I have had a not so great impression of those who bandy about their label as Apologist.
Belt of Denial: WS comes to mind and DCP - in part responsible for his own woes.
Shield of Diversion: This is classic pahoran, he predictably poisions the well, creating a diversion away from the actual claims of the "critic".
Sword of Polemic Ad hominem: both WS and DCP admit to its use in apologetic writings, and both deny there is anything untoward with it - because a bitch propagandist is a butcher propagandist. Though, often, the apologists resorts to personal attacks.
There is just an unappealing and disturbingly common traits among those who consider themselves apologists. I picture vicious dogs, who when confronted sheepishly lick their self inflicted wounds in an attempt to divert attention from their own aggression.
