It was posted in sadness and frustration.
- It's a serious issue and I think that making light of it in the way you did is inappropriate.
I agree that it's serious. I wasn't trying to make light of the issue - but indeed to draw attention to how silly so much of the rhetoric around the issue is.
The arguments (I'd prefer discussions) around the issue do matter a great deal. The senseless shouting doesn't.
I'll agree that my original comment could have (and perhaps should have) been more thoughtful. I'll stand by my apology for offense, as none was intended. I hope that we as a culture, country, and people can move past the shouting and get to the discussion.
