It may not be relative to what you think we're discussing, but it is to what I think we're discussing.

Do you have children?

It's not a difficult question and most people would be more forthcoming than you in answering this simple question.

Because you think it relevant doesn't make it so. There is absolutely no good reason to personalize the discussion, whatever you think "most people" would do. I prefer to focus on correcting factual errors.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

We're discussing pederast priests and parents knowingly putting their children in harm's way by sending them to schools and churches run by such men.

Whether or not someone has children is very germane to the discussion. Because someone who does not have children is merely talking in hypotheticals, whereas a parent understands what it means to protect their child.

At least all parents should know that.

So, do you have children?
