Well, the other "should we care" threads are full of copy-pasting, and that isn't the point of a "discussion" forum, any more than bully-trolls and their attempts to bludgeon people with their propaganda. The idea is to say what you think (in a civil manner), and exchange ideas and opinions with others. If you mostly post long articles written by somebody else, people get bored and don't bother reading or responding.

The bully-trolls take a different tack - trying to "win" discussions by aggression.

Neither approach makes for interesting discussion. People do care about the issues - they just don't want to read all the crap.
