You do see that I didn't start any flame war, but a responder did? It's not a generic tangent because it refers directly to the content of the article. The intention is to illuminate the similarities, and hopefully bring about some empathy for others who don't want to be on lists for exercising their rights...

I notice you didn't warn the anti rights person who did start the flamewar, because that person refuses to acknowledge similarities between the two situations.

I notice you have a tendency to attack me because you clearly disagree with my opinions.

I'm obviously not welcome here. I'll go. You won't need to worry about any more wrongthink from me. Enjoy enforcing your opinions on everyone. Your board, your rules.
