Whether we are defensive or not cannot be assessed based on the responses to Requiem's blog. The very purpose behind his blog was to inflame people and get an emotional response. Therefore, any reaction to a blog like this cannot be gauged as if it were being compared to a normal stimulant.

I also don't believe that it was any kind of test, or really even a joke. I think he was pissed when he wrote it, and then had a change of heart, so decided to try and turn it around, as though we somehow failed by responding to a post that was intended to create a negative response.

This is like someone insulting you, and then typing 'LOL' at the end, to try and make it as though it was all just a joke and the rest of us are assholes for not going along with it.
