ROFL, can you imagine the world's bad guys hanging eagerly on our every word here? They could judge the success of their nefarious plans by the slightest mood shifts...

"By the camel's beard, X is still not advocating bombing us mercilessly! Infest the Senate with anthrax!"
"Now aj has likened us to crispy critters and insulted our sexual habits, we must send out a new video calling for jihad lest their fear dwindles."
"Even kholt condemns us now... release a hostage to get opinion back on our side."

I think we'd be safer if they were reading, actually. They'd be so enthralled they'd never actually have time to do anything bad.

Meanwhile, you could take it as a sign that we haven't been unduly changed by their assaults... instead, here we see an insulting lack of respect for each other and a belief that these opposing opinions should be stifled - exactly as before! Politeness, courtesy and more reasoned debate are certainly needed, in place of inflammatory ranting, rudeness and pre-judged unchangeable opinion... so little change there, then.

<edit> If they *are* reading SI, I'd dearly like to see their reactions to TLC... LOL.
