Hey All

[Warren DeMontague]

16. It'd appear we're talking PAST each other. 1) WHERE have I said "I intend to prohibit discussion"?

No, I intend to not stand for justification of violence. That does not mean the same thing as intending to prohibit discussion of it.

That's why I gave you the quote, again, with the words in bold.

But, here, I will answer your questions.

Would you care to elaborate just what your intentions are should I or anyone else choose to discuss violence?

My intentions are to either participate in the discussion, or not participate in the discussion. If someone is advocating violence, offering excuses for violence, rationalizing violence, etc. then my intentions may be to lock the thread or take other appropriate action, and I'm fairly sure Jeff is on the same page... but please note those are subsets of, and not synonymous with, discussing violence.

Men have a higher instance of death by violence than women do. Is this open for discussion?

I should think so. In the OP, I myself mention that men overwhelmingly die in wars.

Violence or threats of violence in the workplace. Is this open for discussion?

I should think so.

Responding to road rage. Is this open for discussion?

I should think so.




My telling you to post an OP wasn't a "taunt", it was a rational answer. I can't predict, Karnak-like, what you're talking about unless I see it. I gave you an example of what I previously found problematic, it doesn't sound to me like that's what you're talking about.
