Way to spectacularly miss the point, B-Bear. Yes, it is abundantly clear that my opinions are opposed by the vast majority in this thread. (Which is why I posted the quotations from John Stewart Mill.)
But it is precisely that fact that should make you wonder why there are crickets now. None of those people are going to jump to my defense, but like the Sherlock Holmes dog that didn’t bark in the nighttime, it is conspicuous that they are holding their fire on this question. I don’t even know why you would make such a silly assertion to begin with, but it has been mildly diverting to toy with you as you sputter and dig in your heels in a vain attempt to support this loser of a position.
My friendly advice is that you learn from the best (that’s me) and when your position is untenable, just concede the point—but then quickly and smoothly pivot and tack to an argument where you are in a stronger position, or at least not so desperately behind the eight ball. I mean, it’s amusing to make fun of you for a little while, but then that gets tiresome and I crave more of a challenge.
