They're "good" if they are using it to fight "real" injustice in
"real
life". They're "bad" if they are using it to push a POV or get their
way on a website. I'm not saying that people with alternative
positions on issues shouldn't state their case. I'm saying that they
should state it in a civil manner, see if it flies, and if it doesn't
then go do something else.
BTW Martin Luther King had a "consensus".
