though it sounds ridiculous, i can understand their concerns

its not so much different from a group of pro-lifers who want to distance themselves from a bomber.

im not defending the cause, but they have a right to hold to their beliefs in a civil manner and its understandable that would want to disavow this guy's actions

- you are joking, right? you're suggesting that the groups are responsible for the mindset? -- nm - Guy (the real one) Jun 11, 10:23 4
  - well, yes and no. Are they directly, explicitly responsible for advocating these actions? no. - znufrii Jun 11, 10:26 3
    - wow. this isnt a chicken and egg thing, znu. people form groups because they share the same ideals, not the other way around. - Guy (the real one) Jun 11, 10:37 2

  - I think it's logical that in any movement preaching strong opposition to a emotional subject will be taken - Will Hunting Jun 11, 10:38 1
    - Just like the lunatic fringe of the environmentalists are the tree-spikers and such like that. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 10:41

    - You won't? Cause I thought that's exactly what you were doing. -- nm - Stephen Jun 11, 10:21
