And when the public has been educated about the perils of believing company hype put out on the internet as good DD. In all sincerity, that's an admirable goal. Let me ask you two questions though. Can you see any difference between wanting to "just" educate people and beating them up with it? Can you see when the "education" stops and it simply becomes mean-spirited abuse?
