You are absolutely right. Having known my comment was going to be so popular, I would've offered a more civil and productive opening to the discussion. Realistically though, I saw my comment being downvoted into oblivion. I was ok with that. And I'm still ok with my comment, because "fuck you" is probably how I'd start any discussion with a member of Monsanto. I don't think that makes me insane (or dumb according to PG).

Its unfortunate though that my comments distracted from the real issue.

But then again, perhaps all of this discussion wouldn't have happened without my comments. Controversy can be fickle.
