First the tech world appropriated the word <i>evangelist</i>. Now it's <i>apologetics</i>. Get your own words and stop diluting Christian vocabulary.
I thought this was the land of "caveat emptor"? It's unfortunate that you fell for this, but it isn't apologeticism to say that as long as there are suckers who fall for scams there will be scams. Sure, it sucks, but that's life.
