Public outrage and mockery is being created by others and used as weapons against this. As I wrote earlier, that's how the some people are trying to control this. It's simple manipulation and I don't think a community should be goaded into important decisions with those kind of tactics. I don't think I should be either.
Don't do their dirty work. The success of a post or a meme or what have you on a forum is determined by how much it gets read and how much attention it gets. If you don't want this or the other threads to get attention, then stop feeding them your attention.

I'm being accused of being stubborn by the person who's asked me to quit how many times now?
I am actually fairly open to new ideas. If someone had convinced me that my suggestion was a bad idea, I would've left it in a heartbeat. But generally speaking, people have tried trolling me, mocking me, shouting at me .. Few seem to have gone into this with a clear, rational thought process void of animosity (those of you who did, whether for or against, thank you so much).
Attempting a discussion like this on MB using logic and rationality is a bit like bringing a BB gun to a shootout. Others are gonna bring the big guns, like flaming and trolling or WMDs like trying to create public outcry. As the guy with the BB gun, all you can do is wear some thick ass armor (patience) and keep trying to wear down your opponents with your pellets of truth.
