Let's not get caught up in hyperbole. No one here is about to hang anyone at X1 or weigh them down with stones until their bodies break, like what happened in Salem. Exaggerations like this aren't accurate, and they only serve to polarize discussion and downplay the significance of real witch hunts. All we're doing here is talking. This is not 1692 Salem, it's not Nazi Germany, we are not the Mongol Horde, nor are we carrying the Black Death. Let's try to keep things in perspective on BOTH sides of the discussion.
