Ah-ha! Yes you did, BUT! You pulled an old politicians trick. You didn't ask, "Should I get a forum? Yes/No?"
Your only choices for answers were, "Yeah, it can't hurt", and "I don't like controversial subjects"... C'mon now, you're trying to manipulate people's sense of pride. I'd like to vote no... but to vote no I'm saying that I'm not interested in controversial subjects. Oh the inner turmoil!!
It's the same thing political extremists do when debating the war in Iraq...
"What, you don't support the war in Iraq?? You mean you
like Saddam killing babies? You monster!"
or the flipside argument,
"What, you don't support bringing our soldiers home right away? You mean you
like America's sons and daughters getting killed on a daily basis??"
Ah, the joy of word-games.
[edit] As a kinda PS... maybe I was unclear or worded it wrong in my 'elitist' post.... an elitist doesn't think they're always right. They just think they're
more right than everyone else.
