      So you agree that you should have an opinion on this, when you just explicitly avoided that, despite that having been my point all along?

        I have always had an opinion about it, I just don’t see a reason to bring it up when it is not the point of what I’m saying. That could be a little obnoxious.

          Oh yes, it would just be totally obnoxious to voice an opinion against child genital mutilation, on a FORUM.

            If it’s on a place where everyone already agrees and it’s not even the point of what I was saying then yes, it can be pretty obnoxious.

            If you are neutral

            I’m not neutral though.

              I’m not neutral though.

              I haven’t taken any moral position on that.

              Okay. Ever heard of the term “avoidance”?

                You’ve misunderstood. I have a moral position, I haven’t made a moral stance in this thread. Do you get the difference?

                  For about a dozen comments, I’ve been banging on about how my point is that my opinion is that there is absolutely no reason not to oppose child genital mutilation — during which you first actively avoided even taking a stance, and now say you always had a stance, but just refrained from telling it out of politeness.

                  I’ve seen this a thousand times. Like I said, I knew your nationality before I happened to gaze at the nick. That attitude is exactly what I’ve been protesting the whole time. Protesting, and reiterating that I’m protesting it. Which you’ve not gotten. Despite me pointing this out several times.

                    You’re here protesting someone (who already agrees with you) because I didn’t care to soapbox about my view since the discussion didn’t call for it and we all already agree. This is slacktivism at its finest.
