That said, I agree with the OP. Why shouldn't people be entitled to express an opinion about something not directly relevant to them? And the attitude of, "If you don't agree with the collective opinion we'll stomp you" is very unfortunate in any public forum, because it does tend to stifle anything but groupthink. If you feel you must engage with someone you think is a troll (and again, why bother?), attack them on the merits of their post, not on what you perceive to be their motives or their personality.

do you read? more importantly do you read for content? this is over an issue where Amazon made a mistake. they admit they were in error. it was a one time oops. people are coming in for advice on purchases, one of the few things they hear is oh! Amazon can take things off of your reader! it's not going to happen again. it is important to get the CORRECT information out. when people insist on continuing to troll their way through an issue and continue to feed bad information, it needs to be corrected.
how's this to put it into perspective? I don't like Obama, but everytime I see the whole "he isn't a citizen" issue, it makes me see red and I correct it. should that be ignored?
