So it would seem that, based upon those who have come here, "Most people" are not thinking that.
The rest apparently really don't care one way or the other.
Well, I for one, have seen no reason to comment, when others already do it, so much better -- I could spam with "me too", but naah. But well, if some people decide they just can't figure out how to remain upright, or remember to breathe now and again, without somebody telling them to, because this is what they've grown up with and know nothing else, I suppose I, as you say, don't really care enough to stop them. They may little ways -- just as long as they stay out of my hair. Maybe then the manhandlers won't even need to make V'ni and T'ni pay anybody a little visit, to keep us in line.
As you see, I can get rather unfair and abrasive at times, which is another good reason for me to keep my mouth shut. For the exact same reason some "on the other side" might also restrict their posting frequency, reducing the need for his more diplomatic colleagues, to spend most of their time doing damage control, as he tends to post in arrogant enough a manner, to pretty much prove any worries of detractors.
