I'm with you on that "that's an interesting argument" train of thought, but you ruin the argument if you pull it down to this level.
Most people react _very_ emotional (and - for the most part - this is probably a really good thing) if you bring in arguments about sexual abuse (bonus points for minors).
Let's try to stop these comparisons. They are kind of like Godwin's law, killing the discussion in the process.
In fact - did already someone name this fact before? Can I claim? ;)
- chc 16y agoThat's a good point. I hadn't intended for the argument to have such a strong emotional overtone. It just occurred to me as a known-to-be-invalid argument that the comment resembled very closely. I'll keep your law in mind from now on.
