Is it just me, or does the current page image \\\'\\\'\\\'fail to describe the trope?!?!?!?!\\\'\\\'\\\'

So what if it\\\'s \\\"very hard\\\"? It must have been \\\"very hard\\\" for Gandhi to practice non-violence, or for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to do the same, but they managed it, and are both much better remembered, and more successful in their efforts, than those contemporaries of theirs who might have been shouting and swearing, or escalating to violence, out of anger and frustration.

Yes, I know those are two rather extreme examples (since the men must have the patience of saints), and honestly I was trying to avoid mentioning King in particular because part of me felt it would be seen as something of a \\\"low blow,\\\" like I was trying to play some kind of reverse race card, but it\\\'s the clearest way I think I can make my point.

If they can preach \\\'\\\'and\\\'\\\' practice peaceful, civil discourse in the face of threats to their own lives while trying to change the way their country works, I don\\\'t think it\\\'s really too much to ask for people to exercise a little personal restraint when dealing with what is most likely an honest mistake.
