I can't believe this is even debatable. I can't believe that in a society we consider civilized, I have to actually present a structured argument against cutting off pieces of babies when they're born.
This is indeed more or less what I was feeling, though you've expressed it a lot more clearly than I did, irritated as I was.
And again, to reply (in a way) to the clarification in the next post: I'm not angry with Jedusor about the subject, I'm angry—well, irritated and saddened—about the way the views were expressed. (Both in the original post, and in much of the followup.) Not being sorry about the "you're morally inferior" tone is what keeps me irritated and saddened.
(Also, for the record, Hathor is also irreverent and opinionated, and I think most of us love her for it, if perhaps less dearly than you love Jedusor for it.)
