But I do think this is a serious issue and I'm astonished at the sheer number of you who cannot allow discussion of it and will not allow your beliefs to be questioned.
We _were_ discussing it, you got a few downvotes, so what? Disagreement is a form of discussion, had you wished to iterate on the explanation of your stance I would have gladly continued until we distilled the conversation down to the core bits we don't see eye to eye on. Maybe neither of us would be swayed, but at least we'd see where one another were coming from.
I said this before but deleted it because I thought it was a low blow, but in light of your edit I'll reiterate: the problem with this conversation was not your moral stance, it was your arrogance.
