I disagree, we should have kept Geosurface around. His banter was entirely pseudo-intellectual and therefore rather easy to dismantle, but he performed the act with well written prose of a sort, and certainly with lots of passion. It was all misplaced and terribly easy to denigrate, but I would take an educated guess that his perspective is not a rare one, particularly in rural areas outside of cities. And that as a result, his perspective should have been allowed to continue. It's just as important to let that speech run its course and allow people to refute it for all to see, as it is to demean it (and it certainly deserves the latter).
