Turns out all i get for trying to think outside the box is a bunch of bashing and misunderstandings. I post one thing and people go on the defense, perhaps because they see an issue with a custom that until now has not been looked at from a certain angle.
No one is bashing you. Goodness. People don't have a problem with your stance on the subject, they have a problem with how you're presenting it. Furthermore, to say you're trying to formulate an opinion on the matter (though it seems you had an unshakable opinion before you even asked your question), yet you're unwilling to read and respond to the most fleshed-out responses, makes no sense. If you care enough to continue arguing your case, than you should care enough to read people's responses. Otherwise, it seems there's no alternative than you're on here to 'troll.' Either take the time, or don't, and admit you don't care to really think about the other side of the argument. Either way, it's not fair to say people are bashing you simply for disagreeing with you, or pointing out the seemingly rough nature of your posts. I have not seen a single uncivil comment in this thread, and I think it's a copout to say people are bashing you.
