Well said.  The whole series of
"Don-you-must-be-a-moron-because-you-don't-like-T9W" posts really made me
think quite differently of a number of the Love-Hounds who jumped into
the fray.  

But to say that diversity causes wars is way too cynical for my tastes,
so how about: diversity sometimes begets misunderstanding, which begets
prejudice, which has the potential to cause war...?
