I definitely think it's that second one. The unfortunate thing is that the "stick up the arse" syndrome has seeped in to the pagan mindset. This whole, "I'm offended by this, that, and the other thing just because I don't have anything more productive to focus on, and I just want to be angry about something" attitude that is an absolute plague in this world is seriously disconcerting. Is anyone complaining that the secular icon for Christmas is an old, extremely overweight, man who smokes, and who's taste in clothing needs some tweeking? "If it don't apply, let it fly". But, the media does need it's fodder.
