I’m up for an honest discussion of ideas, but I don’t have the patience when the “But what about the children” challenge is paraded out. Next think you know, things get ugly and people are being called out as being Fascist, Racist, Hitler, etc., links to youtube Save the Children and UNICEF videos, Sally Struthers makes an appearance…

I’m up for an open discussion of ideas but certain things, like I said, I just don’t have the patience for. It’s such a tiresome conversation to have. I’m not leaving the discussion mad, I’m just leaving the discussion. Trust me on this.

This post just didn't ring true so I went back and read through the entire thread. Nobody did any of the things you've accused us of. All I can think of is that you saw questions you didn't want to answer.
