I find the whole Dove World Outreach Center epidemic at this point to be rather overblown and played out. It is obvious that this church and its members are simply attention whores. In a seemingly slow news cycle, they have been able to attract and maintain the attention of media outlets such as the Alligator. I am all for free speech, but there comes a point where it is obvious these people are being used for a sensationalist purpose, and in doing so, it allows their message to spread, instead of allowing their passions to simply burn out and fade away into memory.
I urge the Alligator and other local media outlets to take the logical approach and simply ignore these people, because right now they are utilizing your papers to their advantage. It is simply a question: Is this the kind of news people even want to hear about any more, or have they simply had enough of these idiots? Continuing to publish their nonsense just helps keep the hate spreading like cancer.
