As an Azeri, I think it good to beat Ekram Spahui with stick!

reCAPTCHA is the bomb though - the "Civil Rights Defenders" plan removes its incredibly useful function of digitizing hard copy materials to the web:

On September 16, 2009, Google acquired reCAPTCHA.[2] reCAPTCHA is currently digitizing the archives of The New York Times and books from Google Books.[3] As of 2009, twenty years of The New York Times had been digitized and the project planned to have completed the remaining years by the end of 2010.[4]

The reCAPTCHA service supplies subscribing websites with images of words that optical character recognition (OCR) software has been unable to read. The subscribing websites (whose purposes are generally unrelated to the book digitization project) present these images for humans to decipher as CAPTCHA words, as part of their normal validation procedures. They then return the results to the reCAPTCHA service, which sends the results to the digitization projects.

I feel more than a little weird about the idea of telling people what to think.

If nothing else - though there definitely is "else" - I can really only see it making the trolls madder that they have to try to get inside your squishy liberal brain to troll you.
