Reply #165: There are a lot of hysterical accusations in editorials and op-ed pieces that are unsubstantiated.

First, we heard that Mormon Temples had been vandalized. Has anyone non-Mormon ever tried to get within spitting distance of one of those suckers? Even a lot of Mormons aren't allowed inside. You have to have special clearance. They're guarded around the clock and they aren't open to tourists. Somebody vandalized one by writing on the walls with paint? Riiiiiiiight.

Next, we hear that there are "vicious, highly-personalized attacks" on supporters of Proposition 8. Then we find out that these "vicious" attacks consist of responding to letters to the editor. Guess what? Anybody who writes a strongly-worded letter to the editor about a controversial subject is going to get responses.

Then we hear that people's children are being outed on the internet!!! Oh noes!! It turns out that the man had his children's names and photos on his own public website. Not too bright.
