I went back and read your posts and replies. You are not 'unsure', 'willing to admit that there are usually good arguments on both sides', see any 'gray, nuance, complexity' on this issue.
You have taken a VERY partisan, binary, black/white stand on this issue.
You should join Harry on the shore issuing 'Passed' certificates to the ones who crawl out onto the bank.
Beware of the half-truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half.

I know, understand and appreciate the arguments on the other side of this issue. I believe there are many sincere, well-meaning people who disagree with me, and there are people who are not so sincere and well-meaning. And I am more than willing to acknowledge their validity. That doesn't mean I don't have a strong opinion on any given topic. What you didn't see me say, at any time, was what you said, such as...
... did you?
- What a pile of bullshit
- That is a totally false premise
- Continue to run with your ignorance
- I was trying to educate you

I think you know the difference, but your partisan narcissism prohibits you from admitting it.

Oh, I'm so sorry. You're a victim. How mean of me...
How do you possibly get that out of what he said?
