I had not seen that, thanks for sharing; what a simultaneously interesting, unsurprising, and depressing read that was. I wonder if one could build an anti-purity community that would subsequently succumb to a purity spiral, providing a nice meta-demonstration of things ;)

Sigh. I'm sure it's possible. It's people we're talking about.
