In the mean time you bring up attacks against religious groups (when I talked about having seen some footage and saying I don't like such pictures)

I pointed out that religious groups use videos such as the one you mentioned as part of their fundraising techniques. That's a charge you neither denied or made any attempt to refute, nor did you deny that this is where you saw the video in question. Sort of validates my point don't you think? And that's not an attack. It's a truthful statement.

statistics in general (without even beginning to review the data presented to you)

I wasn't presented the data to review. I was expected to accept the statistics at face value, something I would never do no matter what the topic.

and the people who present them to you

I'm supposed to review the people I have discussions with on FR? How am I to do that?

A very helpful point, considering it had nothing to do whatsoever with what we were talking about. It was an outright attempt to smear those who are anti-homosexual and try to get those to associate the smear with me. But I wasn't talking about making homosexual perversion illegal, nor about supporting religious groups. I was just saying I didn't want any such pictures on FR.

And that's not an attack. It's a truthful statement.

If we had been talking about religious group fundraising, it might have been. In the context of my post, it was an attack.

You have been presented the data time and time again. You always wave it off, without ever truly addressing it.

Parentheses are our friends. Learn how to use them. Or maybe you really are stupid? I still don't think so. I still think it's all an attempt to dodge, but I have been wrong before.

Shalom.
