Just for future reference, please do not address me or expect a response from me. I've already seen every fallacious argument you've got. I usually don't even bother to read you, let alone respond.
I think we have read each others arguments many times over the years and I don’t expect to convince you of anything via my postings nor solicit a response. I firmly believe that it is important to discuss both sides of the issue. Fornits will only continue to further isolate itself by embracing only filtered information, pushing an agenda and chasing off anyone who will not keep in lockstep with the group think.
I think we all remember a fornits admin who become so isolated by reading here on fornits that she began to believe that all programs were evil along with all their employees. She even started posting pictures of kids on the open forum and making fun of their hobbies because they didn’t agree with her way of thinking. This is a real life example of becoming “closed minded”, intolerant of other peoples point of view and eventually hateful. This could have been avoided if she had educated herself more and exposed herself to a broader base of information.
It is dangerous, in my opinion, to close people out because of their point of view no matter how different it is from your own. I will continue to read your posts as well as others as I gain a broader perspective and keep my mind open to all sides of the issue. I hope as you grow you become more tolerant of others and open minded towards their individual experiences and points of view.
