Yeah, I understand that, Rabbit.. but there seems to be a way in which conservatives and liberals handle problems. Liberals seek to talk and deal and compromise and such. Conservatives seem to prove their case by example. In your case, proving by example meant chasing a bad decision with another bad decision on the fallacy of "fairness and balance."
It may surprise you to know, there aren't two sides to this. Or any, story. Much as the american news media has liked to convince you that it's liberals vs republicans, it's not. The statement you made that you were "seeking balance" could not be further from the truth, and is actually a logical fallacy. If you want "balance", then every single American needs to post here their own story / spin on the political news. Politics is largely a matter of opinion, not fact. Both the cases posted are political footballs, and while the right and left both try to set the narrative for each, there are thousands if not tens of thousands of "edge cases" and "special areas" that simply are not addressed by EITHER narrative the left and right are setting down as "fact."
(And, even then, the stories the left and right are setting down are almost complete adulteration themselves.)
So please.. please... one, recognize that there are not just two sides to every story. Two, please don't chase a bad editorial decision with another bad editorial decision to make a point.. instead, try talking like grown-ups and resolving differences without throwing your users under the bus. Three, please remember that the users here want furry things and definitely know where to find the political things on the internet.
