Oh boy!  Come on now... you guys, this is so apparent an issue.  I am actually 
a little surprised a few of you are so defensive of this situation.  I'm 
not sure how far you would go to defend something "evil"... but I become 
more astounded all the time.  How far does this go before you finally decide 
it's time to step in?   I hear some of you gripe so strongly (verbally violent) 
over the internet marketing and web scripts... and yet you will defend such 
things as this so ruthlessly?

And will you please define "nice" then?  You have chosen your side.  I'd 
rather you just be honest and say that you don't like my side of the discussion. 
 But you are refusing to recognize that "nice", in your case, is letting 
whichever side you prefer have their say, no matter how diabolical, without 
a balance from the opposite side.   I'm amazed you pursue this argument so 
relentlessly too.
