With contempt and condescension. You've been overtly, abrasively combative, with no need to be so. Certainly, this issue is hot-button with some, but you'll find most folks on this forum are like-minded on many or most issues.

I was taught the point of argument is to persuade--if not one's opponent, then those listening to or reading the argument. Even someone sympathetic to your point of view would be alienated by your tone.

Lighten up.

It really hurts me, that you would say this about me.

You must be confusing me with somebody else.

I'm a nice person. Everbody likes me.
