Are we turning into an anti-dissent crowd? Look at the downvotes - the same number, and why? Because somebody had a different opinion? Because it's so easy to downvote here and not let out your identity or have to explain why you did it? Tolerance of, nay, encouragement of dissent (not insubstantiated rants) is the hallmark of a healthy community. Btw, if you choose to downvote this, please explain why and what I am missing. Thank you.
