I regret that I ended up in a FB flamewar on the subject. But I do not blame myself entirely as the person who I had never met countered my enthusiam with calling me ignorant, stupid, foolish, malicious and a socialist. I just hate the name-calling. It is unproductive discourse. So, mainly, I had hoped to call the guy out for the name-calling. But, you know, you can't really have a productive flamewar.
