When their religious beliefs start affecting my life, I'm not going to remain
silent about it.  You can call that "ridiculing" or "Christian-bashing" if
you want, but as far as I'm concerned it's impossible to ridicule someone who
is shaken by a _picture_ of _cartoon_(!) on their computer.

I would have been happy to remain silent on this, but it led to Scott's
commit that removed the beastie menu and that was going too far.  In that
sense, yes, it is indeed relevant for stable.
