And by the way, saying that you'd need us to delete and avoid all threads on crime news is not really a right you have.

When did I say that? Crime is a topic that needs an awful amount of discussion, but this single crime - and can you acknowledge that I agree that it is horrible - and the associated thread has occupied a lot of time and energy. Yes, it is good to vent and rend and yes it's cathartic, but while we're here why not discuss the slaying of a woman in front of several children by her ex-husband in Niceville, FL?

I call it as I see it...and that's a fine idea, I mean the part about discussing the woman that was killed in front of her children. Now why don't you run along and start your very own thread about just that and leave us to discuss THIS topic without disruption?

You seem to have shifted. Now you're implying that murder IS important? I thought you considered only those things grouped under "what is going on in the world", on a global level, to be important.

And really, the "when did I say that" or "I never said that" remark is such an OLD trick. You really must be kind of new to this.

You keep acting like this story is all about emotion. Emotion is involved, but there is a lot more to it. You also imply that emotion is unimportant. It is important. Both reasoning and emotion impel people to DO things. That's important.
