Steve is correct - thanks for making that clear.

I'm searching my post for places where I said "you may not debate 
this topic." I seem to find none.

I am still boggled by the inability to comprehend the message of my 
post.

I never intended to nor will I ever claim that someone does not have 
the right to speak their mind...however...it seems that to keep 
beating one's head against the wall is not going to heal any wounds.

I take more issue with 1) the posture of the post and its disrespect 
for competing viewpoints and 2) the post's lack of accountability in 
terms of supposedly not wishing to resurrect debate while quite 
vehemently calling into question the nature and character of those 
directly involved in the situation - that seems like contradiction.

If you want to bring the debate back out just say so and don't call 
it something it isn't. If I am indeed incorrect and you do not wish 
to spark debate any further then why keep bringing it up? Oh wait, 
let's be clear, I didn't say "don't bring it up" I merely asked "why?"

Assuming now that this topic should be debated further what is there 
left to discuss? If I'm missing something or if perhaps there is a 
compelling argument why it needs to be talked about more I'll 
gracefully shut my mouth.

If you want to draw out the lines and get people angry then just say 
so, don't call it something else.
