[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8683837, member: 7808"] Do you realize that the pot in this scenario is you? Venger Satanis didn't come to this thread and proselytize the danger of commercial moderation, apocalyptic "what ifs" about the future of the industry, or threats in the form of corporate guidelines. But he convinced someone to do it for him. Whether you intended to support him or not, you did exactly what he wanted you to do. Please don't take this as an attack. I think it's great that you realized a few posts back that this was manufactured outrage, and that you were able to turn it off. Being able to re-analyze the situation and actually change your mind puts you in a class above most of the internet. I just want to point out that the "hubbub" or "angry internet mob" isn't always some distant muddled mass. Sometimes it's us. Individually. I've been there myself. [/QUOTE]
