It's a valid forum and I'm not going say that they aren't valid feelings. But it's sad. Considering the potential that something like the Internet, that connects so many people, has for good. I think it's sad that it's used so often for nothing but unfounded, overzealous negativity. — Chris Gethard

The prejudice of unfounded belief often degenerates into the prejudice of custom, and becomes at last rank hypocrisy.
