"Mmm. It's the usual outside-perspective problem - the
members of a (sub)cultural group that are the most visible
to people outside that group are always the nutjobs. Just
like the majority of Christians are nice friendly people, but
who gets the press? The pedophilic churchmen and the fundie
right-wing nutjobs, of course. Same same for most everything...
and you're right, the solution is for the 'silent majority'
to stop being so silent, and to point out that the nutjobs
don't speak for them." --

Therefore - and I don't know why this is - their response is to get angry at you for perpetuating a "stereotype" rather than getting made at the jerks who are walking stereotypes spreading this evil meme.
Go figure.
