I have no comments on this subject whatsoever, but I'd like to take the opportunity to make an example of how not to communicate to other people:

As is usually the case with people who behave like this, you sound like you have some really great points, but they're lost behind a lot of what seems like... outrage? People will be much more likely to take what you have to say into consideration and engage in discussion with you in the future if you tone it down and treat them like you'd like to be treated. That is, don't talk to people like they're idiots.
