And certainly I would rather have a discussion with a real political opponent, than with any of the miserable wasters of the lunatic fringe. It is most unpleasant, but someone has to do it.
This, by the way, is the reason why I've voted for option #2, it is mostly worth it but sometimes it can be a pain. Otherwise I would have voted for option #1.

There are other reason why it is worth it. Or why it will prove worth it in the future. But that's another story.
