Hear hear.

I used to have a "pro-thought" filter on my LJ, but then I thought, why would only some people want to think? Why in particular would people who aren't on my friends list not want to think? So I just put the things I would have put on that filter on public view instead.

Indeed, I think it was you who I picked up the phrase "pro-thought" from. I had most of the rant already written at the time, but as soon as I saw you use that phrase I suddenly realised I had previously been lacking a title.
