Uh, it went on for more than a week. Not just on CC. All over UC forums, Berkeley forums, etc. People would not shut up about it, even after it had been argued about ad nauseum.

As an appropriately hot topic, I’d say that people SHOULD have debated it. And if any discussions ocurred for more than a week, it was largely in part because of new developments such as the Berkeley City Council backing down from the extremely “poor wording” of its incendiary resolution.



The “blowing it out of proportion” bit happens more often when people go on to use it when it isn’t relevant in discussions and debates, when people call for drastic measures re: the whole event, etc.

Really? I’d like to hear what kind of discussions it was cited in when it wasn’t relevant. Was it used when people were debating abortion? Creation vs. evolution? The daily weather? The only times I heard about the topic was when people were debating within the context of “that crazy city of Berkeley is at it again…”
