Yeah, I guess I am guilty of being really into my views and argument, so maybe there are some good points I'm missing out. Definitely will try to be more rational and less defensive next time. I do owe Marina something of an apology in my reply to her original post, not for my views and what I said because I stand by everything I wrote, but there were a few moments where I did abuse the sarcasm (the disclaimer parts) and where I chewed her out more than the argument or the way the argument was written deserved. I did get caught up with my argument, I'll admit that. Sorry about those parts, Marina.
Thanks for the kick in the pants, Alison. You are the best listmommy out there.
