Have a think about how much and how quickly these forums would become DOMINATED by nutcase conspiranoids if it became widely known in nutjob circles that they could post their made up claims on Urban without them being effectively challenged.
Those challenges that you see as 'bullying', I see as utterly essential to keep these loons in check.
And 36% percent of Amercians may or not believe '9/11' was an inside job. 44% (was it?) believe in Creationism, a similarly scarily high percentage of Amercans can't place either Iraq or the UK on a global map.
OK, those percentages may not coincide, and may very well be made up of different people in each case (think Venn diagrams though -- sure;ly a lot of overlap), But for nick to summon up that 36% believing in '9/11' inside jobbery adds ZERO credibility to his case -- somewhere around 80% to 90% (??) of Americans believe in 'the right to bear arms' and an even higher pecentage in the death penalty.
(Hands nick an NRA approved gun to shoot himself in the foot even more).
