I've taken a spin through the comments sections on some of the sites you've posted, sinij, and they are equally vitriolic. Obviously that doesn't excuse the behavior, but it does illustrate the fact that typically, only the lunatic fringe can be bothered to post their opinions in an such an open way on the internet. The more sane posts are rare and usually get buried in the mire of partisanship on both sides, after they get flamed for not being extreme enough.

Your assertion that this type of drivel is "mainstream" is absurd and, frankly, beneath even you.
