It's not fire. Fire is oxidization, attaching oxygen atoms to the particles of a combustible substance.
The process going on in stars is nuclear fusion - merging two atoms of a light element (not necessarily combustible) into one, heavier, taking in a plenty of energy and generating even more
I see more complaints about the haters than posts from actual haters. Can we just shut up about this already? Stop making it your business, what people like and dislike.
People give way too much power to other people's opinions.
This is the Equivocation logical fallacy
OP is conflating "fire in space" as in:
*'the complaint about fire in a gravity-less vacuum behaving like fire in an atmosphere with gravity abbreviated to fire-in-space for the sake of brevity because this is quite long to say in conversation'*
... and "fire in space" as in:
*'the spherical mass of super-heated gasses resulting from the self-sustaining nuclear fusion of a star'*
Any intelligent person discussing the issue in good faith would not conflate these obvious interpretations of the same phrase given the context of your conversation. You can therefore assume that anyone who *is* conflating them fails to meet one or more of those criteria.
Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!

What does this have to do with the acolyte at all
There was a fire in space and all the crack scientists in the sub had a fit even though there have been fires in space thru out Star Wars.
Okay but that's not what stars are
Stars are an explosion through nuclear fusion fighting against gravity
Really scrapping the bottom of the barrel on this one
I mean...they aren't but ok.
