As the reader might know, I have a habit to collect quotes from people expressing wise things. This post is a part of this tradition - I found it in a tweet from media and tech analyst Benedict Evans who observed that as soon as a topic is outside the boundaries of what normal, moderate people will discuss, the people who have the extreme points of view towards the topic will fill the void where the above mentioned normal moderate people should have been heard.
So this should be seen as an appeal to all of us, who consider ourselves normal, moderate people - to keep letting our voices be heard, even though the extreme points of view do their best to monopolize the bandwidth.
