Um, it seems to me that if someone calls another's practice "offensive", it is quite justified to attempt to find out the reasoning behind the comment to try to persuade otherwise. Simply ignoring jabs at what we hold quite dear will not educate others. >This demonstrates EXACTLY why this group should be split.

We may not really be groups of "opposing interest", but the only way to find out is through discussion. I haven't seen any "flame wars" developing. Just one person asking the reasoning of another.
