Good News! I will take your money so you will feel good.
I read weird things at times, so excuse me for wandering over to RealClimate, where I found a link to a site that will ease your conscience over global warming. If you send $99 to Carbonfund, you will be absolved of all personal guilt about global warming--and, you get a pen! People are actually taking this seriously. So, this has spurred me on to offer something to ease your conscience over personal attacks--for a fee, of course.
Here's what it does. You read a comment by a leftist and you want to tell him that he's an idiot--in so many words. Maybe you're a leftist and you want to tell conservatives that they are &%^$^@ crazy (conservatives use better language.) Well, go ahead and do it with no guilt whatsoever--as long as I'm paid, again. Send me $1 every time that you call someone else a bad name and I will reduce by one the bad names that I call others. Therefore, your name-calling will be off-set and will have zero effect on the civil discourse of the internet. What a great deal!
It's the least that I can do. But, don't expect a pen for only a dollar. And, if liberals read this post and take advantage of my offer, I'll be rich! ...But, wait, there could be a flaw here. What if liberals don't feel guilty about calling conservatives bad names? Hmmm. I think this needs more work.

to study the issue.
Of course, that wouldn't be cost effective, or...effective at all, really, but you can pass the buck. :^)
