Damian, firstly, I agologize for getting hot-under-the-collar. I have a quick temper and I sometimes let it run lose.
DJ - Dude thats really sweet of you, but theres no need to appologise, we all get on and debates are a good thing on important and serious topics like this one. You get hot under the collar because you care about people, and thats a good thing dude
What annoys me are general assertions that don't apply to many or most anti-cutters. An example is inveighing that we're "
mad at our parents" or that cut children will be mad at their parents. While some posters have indeed stated such; it isn't frequent and I don't recall any recent instances. You're broadbrushing a group with the comments of a few. It isn't fair. If you continue doing that, I'll continue "flying off the handle". :smile:
DJ - Thats fair dude, just remember that we can all get specific, use my parents for example
If you relect upon it, "anger at parents" really doesn't get mentioned too often.
DJ - Fair enough
Here's another of your tactics (I'll call it an indirect hit) ...
"Certain people on this site rage against everyone, especially their parents and the state, for being circumcised!"
That's serious hit at someone ... but whom? Certain people? Since Jerry and I are the most frequent posters of the anti-cutters and Chico hasn't posted in ~1 month; I can only figure the targets were me and Jerry. The general readers would
certainly think that. I asked you for specifics and it appears you replied "
My responses were not aimed at you guys." But I find that hard to believe since the vast majority of the anti-circ. posts are from Jerry and I. If you can't or won't give specifics, retract it.Speaking for Jerry and I: to put an end to R.I.C. and that's all. That should come as no surprise to anyone. The term "Intactivism" is in my profile for a reason. I'm damned proud of my cause; and that should be clear to all.Neither. I would like to see fairness from all parties. Unfortunately, that's a bit much to ask for. But I am asking anyway.
DJ - Fair enough dude
The debate isn't going to go away. At times even I'm amazed at the frequency and quantity. But we can make it better. I'll try to keep my temper controlled better than did I recently. :smile:
DJ - You sweet dude
Damian, you ask for civility, but, that's an empty request when you make comments such as "
certain people on this site rage against everyone ...". Rage? Really?
I do like you, in case that isn't apparent. At times, I get pissed off at your generalizations.
