Sol: So far as I can tell, this is a legitimate exchange of opinions. I don't see any name-calling, insulting, lost tempers, or what-have-you. Or, in other words, I see no flames. If there's no fire, don't start spraying the hose around. All you'll do is get everything all wet. Or something.
That actually sounded a lot better in my head...

At the moment there's no reason to do anything to this thread. Just people talking. Hell, I don't even know why this has come up. Since it has, lets cut the critique of peoples administrative style and stay on topic. Whatever that is *L*.
Nuff said.

"Straw Man" Fallacy? Explain.
Before I forget, there is also the "battered woman" who has either a choice of leaving him and living homeless, or living at a home and being constantly pummelled into submission. As well as the single mother who after living in her apartment for 10 years, gets kicked out because the Landlord wants a person with more money to move in.
Before anyone asks, no, I'm not socialist. But I do not believe in dumping society's problems on those who are less fortunate.

The straw man fallacy involves attacking something other than what someone is talking about. You said
"First, your comments are akin to saying that you want all poor women to be sterilized."
However, he never said anything about sterilizing anyone.
