Sorry to bring the mood down once again, but... I just don't know what to do.

PZ throws down a challenge. Though I think the point is that "we" don't really want or need organised ideological rallies.

That's not how it works. The ROI is on the investment. The investment, unless he paid full-cash for it, was leveraged.
