I absolutly agree with your opinion, but just becouse someone posted doesnt mean they dont. You did not know what her opinion was, before you remarked on her motive for posting. And in my opinion this kind of hogwash should be exposed. Even on our humble little world here. All is good Grojlach.
Oh, it's not that I'm in a "shoot the messenger"-mood; I just think stormymystic's recycle bin would have been a more appropriate destination for this piece of junk than Ironworks. And I disagree with you on the notion that these kinds of articles should be exposed; if everyone posted every highly offensive bit of fundamentalistic propaganda they stumbled upon, it would only strengthens the sentiment of depression and helpless frustration over its stupidity within the readers... It's not that you'll ever have a healthy discussion over its contents between opposers and advocates of such an article, as the advocate-category will be somehow lacking in appeal, judging by the inflammable nature of the contents. All you can do is voice your anger towards the invisible and unknown author of the article, without ever having the chance of hearing him out over it or trying to talk some reason into him/her; and believe me, there's nothing as frustrating as that.
