    The phrase 'preaching to the converted' springs to mind. Just because no-one commented it doesn't mean no-one read or agreed with it.

    Suggesting people would probably have some form of adverse reaction if it were a different story is really just looking for an argument that doesn't need to exist - this isn't a different story, it's this one...

    TL; DR: psychologists are arguing that research claiming that violence in the media causes violence in youths is bunk, contradicts the trend of a current 40-year low in violence generally and that the APA media violence task force has a unique opportunity to clean up research in this area.

    Carry on...
