Straight Dope Tries To Figure Us Out

The Straight Dope Message Board is trying to figure out whether LGF is a “hate site” in a discussion started by a pro-Palestinian member in Scandinavia who (as usual when these sorts of people mount a smear campaign against LGF) takes a selection of the most vehement comments from our open, unmoderated comments system, totally out of context.
The comments quoted are the responsibility of those who made them, but by taking them out of context, with no reference to the items that provoke them, the LGF detractors make the discussions look much worse than they are—and they always completely ignore any responses that refute and castigate the more radical commentators, because those responses wouldn’t fit the agenda.
However, I do urge our readers to be aware that over-the-top “kill them all” comments have been in the past and will continue to be used against this site. Please consider your words before you commit them to a comment.
