Yes we have, and I have no interest in resurrecting it again.

This seems to contradict what you said earlier:

To me, this seems to convey that your decisions are based on what is legal or illegal.

What's the point of a discussion forum, then, if we can't express our views? How is expressing our views "looking down on others"?
Since you think it's ok to let a person kill a child, then am I "looking down on you" if I voice my opinion that it's not ok?
Sorry, but I am again confused by your words.

I'm not to blame for your high blood pressure, Monkey.
What you're really saying is that you don't like my views. What's ironic is that I have intentionally refrained from answering any of your posts for many months, out of respect for you and the fact that we disagree so strongly. I'm sorry I can't do more than that. I cannot be expected to never share my views. I actually didn't post anything for 2 whole months, and even now, I post in only about 3 threads. Yet I raise your blood pressure?
You speak of acceptance a lot. You accept a murderer killing a child. But you cannot accept other people have a difference of opinion?
You say I am 'STS' if I stop the murderer. And now you say Diana and I are "looking down on others" if we want to stop the murder of animals?
They are the same. If you wouldn't even stop someone from killing a human child, then of course you would disagree with us trying to stop the killing of animals.

I can understand why someone who thinks allowing a murderer to kill a child, might feel that way.
Your views are very strange to me, Monkey.
Yes. I can see this would be a resurrection of a nasty little beast created by you and I alone .
I don't know how to accept others. I think I know what it means though. I can also see when I am not being accepted for my perspective.
