Yes, we all have better things to do than watch the horizon for incoming. That's the point - if you don't set up and USE an effective control system, there's no time left for anything constructive.

If this were a party local hq (as it should be electronically) and those nihilists barged in off the street and proceeded to turn everything topsy turvy, would we cringe against the wall or throw them out on their ear? That's exactly what happened at barackobama.com in the name of inclusion: nobody could have a decent discussion for all the deliberate disruption and manufactured chaos. It got to be like digging up an outhouse in search of one lost pearl.
