I think that people respond to these posts with such hostility suggests that there is something worth discussing, and that not everybody actually does agree. If this really wasn't an issue there would be a few agreements and the threads would quickly die instead of going to 100-300 posts.

Not to say that this isn't an important issue; there are lots of important issues that only get 10-15 responses. The fact that these threads catch fire implies that people have something to say about them.

That's a strawman. I've never mentioned your precious PSA. See how this works? NoOneMan Dec 2013 #38

no. it would be the truth, factual, the reality. seen time and again the last week or two seabeyond Dec 2013 #40

Consider the context. Everyone is sick of this group drowning us with this content NoOneMan Dec 2013 #42

Its already pretty ridiculous regarding the HRC v Warren deal. And its not even 2014 NoOneMan Dec 2013 #82

And yet, if this poll were the other way around you'd be all over it as proof you're right. RC Dec 2013 #99

There has been issues for months, before the PSA thread. I could care less about your PSA thread NoOneMan Dec 2013 #81
