Get over it, let's move on to issues that really are important.
I disagree. It's incidents like these that do turn this into a mission statement.

If there hadn't been a media spill-out, we wouldn't even know about it or be discussing it.
Who do you think tried to break the story?

Regardless, I don't see the need to think of people who disagree with me as not well adjusted. We just have different opinions on the matter.
