   I'd like to give RTD the benefit of the doubt and hope that he's not a   
   bigot, but that he's aware that many of the people who support the same   
   progressive ideas that he does are in a hyper-cynical place.  Then   
   again, maybe he really is that hyper-cynical and also thinks anyone on   
   the internet he disagrees with deserves to die a horrible death, just   
   like Jonathan Blum does.  However, that scene in the Reality War between   
   Ruby and Conrad suggests that he doesn't entirely have a black and   
   white, us vs them mentality.
