Not true. One would hope that people who lurk here would come around and think, "Gosh, what a suprise! A place full of people who think well and talk about important political issues...maybe I can learn from/contribute something to this!" Instead, when they read things like suggesting people should commit suicide and wishing people would die, they probably think this is just another whackjob internet site, and go back to the warm glow of the television.
Bad publicity, in fact, should be COURTED.
But mere flashing will do.
Whatever it takes to roll back years of civility.
