It didn't take a study to show that.

The politicians are as worried as I am. Let's see if they do anything about it.

Why don't WE do something about it? Every time a homogenous thread shouts down or runs off non-conforming points of view expressed civilly it exacerbates the problem. You can watch the demonization grow bolder when there are no challenges to it. If threads want to be homogenous, at least they can police themselves on some of the excesses. If people are really worried about it, that is.
