You have someone that proposes an off-the-wall proposal. It's latched onto as a sign of everything bad, shrieked about o the internet for weeks, and gives the impression that a large amount of people care about this topic. The far more radical version is put in based on the shit spewed from *both* sides against each other.
Stop legitimizing crazies.
