19. Actually, I Haven't Said Anything on the Topic of The Thread and Don't Intend To

My comments have been limited to how I believe you were being condescending to him and how I don't see any evidence that was deserved.

As for "Let's Play With Women Rights," if he suggested altering the state of currently legal abortions as per Roe v. Wade I must have missed that in his posts. Nor did I see him coming out in favor of "personhood" laws that would alter women's rights. So I find your assertion that he wants to play with women's rights a FAIL. You haven't made a single post with any sort of argument or commentary on his original post. You started by making a post that is, in my opinion, condescending and snarky.

You have added absolutely nothing of value to the conversation even if it is his "theoretical discussion." I must have missed it in the TOS where it says theoretical discussions are improper and discouraged.
