And in those big families of yours, were unsolicited comments from another family member that had nothing to do w/ the argument welcomed?

What? Do you rule extended families with such an iron hand that...
(a) you rule apriori on what is relevant to the convo and what isn't?
And (b) Do you truly mean that your extended family members need to be solicited before they give an opinion? Wow!

Not-so-open of a forum here, eh? (Which may reveal you have not-so-open of a family there, either)

Funniest part is you were addressing the argument as well...
