I don't want to be dismissive of your views, but in case you haven't read this analysis of the puzzling moral universe of the Ender books, I think you'd find it interesting.

http://johnjosephkessel.wixsite.com/kessel-website/creating-the-innocent-killer

"Card thus labors long and hard in Ender’s Game to create a situation where we are not allowed to judge any of his defined-as-good characters’ morality by their actions. The same destructive act that would condemn a bad person, when performed by a good person, does not implicate the actor, and in fact may be read as a sign of that person’s virtue. "

If you have read it, and disagree with its logic, that's cool too.

I used to get linked to that a lot. My feelings are similar to how fans and scholars of James Fenimore Cooper view this: http://twain.lib.virginia.edu/projects/rissetto/offense.html

AYRT

Fair enough. Sorry if it felt like a rerun of an old pile-on. We'll agree to disagree on the Ender books.

That's quite interesting, and explains both my teenage appreciation of the books and my desire to never ever read them again. Intentions matter, actions matter more.
