Once again, a very solid analysis. You are correct, I played the game and did make inflamatory comments at times, there's no doubt about it.
People, and especially younger and less informed people, who check out this sight are clearly one of my main interests in all this.
I'm thinking that perhaps a poll, or a more publicly visable thread on the matter is a good tie up for all this. With more people looking on, the temptation to devolve into schoolyard bickering for King and myself will be restricted by others, and a larger amount of opinions can be expressed.
You seem to understand this without trouble, but it is basically just my intention to have the full spectrum of information available to people interested in this. Before the debate threads in this forum, I think somebody just perusing would be very inclined to believe some things that aren't grounded in reality, and perhaps they still are if I haven't made any solid points (I felt past threads were far more topical and focused than this mess).
Similarly, I think if they were to ask about them, they wouldn't be directed towards impartial information or told it's possible FR won't help, or that circumcision isn't necessarily causing their troubles. And of course, as I am most chagrined by, I even think they might falsely start to believe that circumcision is causing their troubles, and hence FR is their only option.
It's not a world altering standpoint, nor do I consider it my duty to protect anybody from poor information, it's just a pet peeve of mine to see things like that. In the past I felt like the debate cleared a lot up, but after a short while things are always back to normal, so I guess there is no real solution unless I want to dedicate myself to this full time, which ain't gonna happen!
I have to say though, I am a little disappointed at how low the debate devolved, of which I certainly was a prime contributor. I felt there was a personal element from the beginning when I foolishly used my own experiences with a circumcised unit as a point of proof for my views and was immediately called into question. At that point I had no intention of really getting into things this elaborately. Irregardless, the personal elements and character bickering don't belong here. Only the facts should matter, but when, if ever, to consider personal accounts as good evidence is an interesting question. The logical conclusion is that people ought to see them for what they are - what one particular man's experience is. Unfortunately I don't think it always happens like that.
