These threads are a dime a dozen, and the argument/debate has been far past exhausted while everyone thinks what they have to add will sway someone’s stance.
I’m sure there’s a dozen more threads on abortion, these came up from a quick search. Reason I bring this up is because of the redundant questions rule (yeah, I’ve been reviewing the rules), and it’s utterly annoying to see the topic arise again and again as if it’s something new and groundbreaking. I post this because there shouldn’t be a need to make new threads, if so there should be a Low Content Abortion Thread (I could make a very non-PC joke out of that…), but if a new abortion thread starts by someone who decided not to use the search function first I might explode.
b) drawing some inference from my response that you find unpleasant
c) have no idea what I meant by that response - and it is a completley left of center response to you (something like a gibberish)
d) something else
All I can say is f it is option C - there is nothing more I can say. If people are confused by what I wanted to be a short unreflective colloquialism (“help keep things in perspective”) that I don’t think deserves this much attention - so be it I’ll strike the post if more people have no idea what I was saying - but I’m not going to be defending the line as some “grand theoretical statement” or anything. If you’re trying to draw some profound exegesis from the comment - prepare for dissapointment.
I am simply calling this thread “useful and helpful” - if you don’t think so - so be it, there is nothing I can do…you win.
If you think I’m tsomwhere in category A & B - spell it out
I sure hope you didn’t expect that to drive me away, William.
I asked you that question because I had no idea what you meant by “perspective”. It’s that simple. I’m still not really sure what you mean by it, and now you’re apparently refusing to tell me. Why is that? Why make a comment that you don’t want to clarify when someone reasonably asks you to?
To be honest with you, it’s clear to me that you don’t like “noobs” starting new threads about issues that have already been re-hashed many times in the past, like abortion. Well, if you feel that strongly about it, why don’t you open back up your mod account and start outright deleting the threads that you don’t like?

This is what I think you were getting at - and that isn’t the case. And if you want me to I can verify it with at least two past posts where I specifically stated I don’t mind redundant threads, and dislike “veteran” people putting on an air of condescending attitudes to new people posting redundant topics.
I also have stated that it is good to learn things on your own via ones dialgoue in forums (i actually think that is their main advantage).
Once again: to answer what I meant by "putting things in perspective - it was a colloquialism that meant something close to “helpful reference”. That’s really all I can say about it.
Sorry, I didn’t realize the “wonderful” forum software had eaten yet another post of mine. (For any mods/admins out there, this happens when I’m on a computer running Windows 7 64-bit and using IE 9.)
That’s all I’m going to post - it’s really hard to dig for this stuff
Also, that’s all for me on this thread on this - as it is drifting. If you have more to say , and wish me to respond -bring it up in member issues or PM me
