Well for a start I don't think "upset" is a good word for it; people objected to your point of view, sure. Second, the way you phrased your message above makes it sound as though you think you've baffled them with the brilliance and truth of your posts, which isn't actually the case I'm afraid.

Of course it was hyperbolic. I'm no fan of emoticons, so Poe's law would have to apply here. I think that's the correct law, at least. That's the smiley one, right?

Nobody is angry (maybe leaving wind-up merchants like Mavorpen aside, because some people just have a problem no matter what) because they've come to a sudden realisation - most people that are objecting are doing so because they disagree with your posts, for a number of reasons.

4years and Trotskylvania; 4years misunderstood what "self-ownership" is and Trotskylvania assumed that slavery is acceptable as a result, which is a sentiment I have since retracted in favour of an exception that I have since justified. He has yet to come back. Conscentia agreed with me that they own themselves, and Zottistan is getting there. The rest feel as if "God" owns them, and the final quasi-third believe that they own themselves. 4years and Trot are in a considerable minority.

Thirdly, I have read the entire thread but haven't commented. Trots has basically summed up my opinions, but he's a far better writer than me.

I'm still waiting on Trot to answer my post, so you're very welcome to post your beliefs in the thread meanwhile.

If I've read you incorrectly and you're not as arrogant as I think you came across here, then I apologise.

Apology accepted.
