Nice little circle jerk going on here, but there's nothing wrong with the word itself, and in most cases it's used correctly on here.
Apologist: A person who argues in defense or justification of something, such as a doctrine, policy, or institution.
Big deal. Sure, it can be used in a negative way and often is in debates. So what. That's what happens when people disagree. No sense crying about such a benign term.
The term can potentially be used as an insult, but on this website is used as a grouping term for a group of posters here who tend to argue in the same predictable and tedious ways every time someone writes something they disagree with.
Would you guys prefer a different grouping term? Because I'm sure someone can think of something much more colorful than "apologist" (gasp!).
As someone else mentioned above, how about the "Freedom Fighters"?

no no the "freedom fighter" name has already been Tmed by a group of users here who are fighting to good human rights fight on the bad ole streets of Korea, trying to save their fellow westerners.
Gotta come up with something else pal. |

I've always favored "The Four Horsemen" for the usual gang.
What would we be if we were all in a band?
I think I'd be rhythm guitar. Always prattles on the most. A bit of a black sheep. Not sure about the other guys. Captain Corea might be our marketable, more reasonable seeming frontman. |
Wolverine and x-men. In which case, can I be Wolverine?! |
Bah! He's not even the leader type. They just put his name first so that it'd draw more ratings.
But yeah, you can be Wolvie, and I'll be Colossus  |
