   Of course not. The intellectually and morally superior Right, all   
   behaving like the good Christians that they are, have taken the   
   initiative to have non-vitriolic discussion to reach a level of   
   understanding with those they see as their Enemy.   
      
   That's what morally superior people do who aren't enormous hypocrites,   
   yes? All the nonstop vitriol from their side has completely ended, yes?   
      
   Or, if they can claim Kirk as a martyr and not as a victim of   
   censorship, then they'll build around that, having learned never to let   
   a good tragedy go to waste.   
      
   Morally superior people would never do anything that cynical, yes?
