So me posting "She's Free!" puts me in the same category as a crazy person protesting the Anthony verdict?

I agree.

It's like religion. Anyone can believe whatever they want. You can argue that aliens created all of us in a test tube, and that's fine. But if you get outraged at me and at MY belief system (or lack thereof), and try to convince me that I'm crazy for believing what I do, then I'm going to think you're annoying, over-emotional, and that you need to get a grip on reality.

Aren't you kinda doing that yourself here? I mean seriously, unless I'm missing something here who is getting all crazy and over emotional here? Just because someone follows, discusses, comments, or posts about a news story, court case or a current event doesn't mean that they are emotionally vested in it.
