No, it's this forum's loss. Anchorhead is right: OT.com is a lot more visible now, and when you're more visible, perception is everything. No one is saying one's views shouldn't be expressed; they are saying, however, that there are ways to do so that don't make OT.com look like a haven for cranks, and its members like a bunch of retarded jackasses.
