For instance, this particular thread continues, with the same people reiterating "but what about the children?" We've addressed that several times, by several people, in several ways.
And yet, in my post (in the personal blogs section) with a link here, I'm told that the problem MUST be with me since it keeps happening.
When every relationship you've ever had turns out to be "with a psycho", then yeah, the first place you should look is the common denominator - you. But it's an internet truism that many people just do not read the opposing argument and insist on repeating the same thing over and over again, even when their side has been addressed or they have been repeatedly told they're being insulting.
It's like when Atheists are called "militant" because they're now standing up and insisting on being given equal rights. For some reason, refusing to take someone else's shit is now "aggressive" or "militant", when those people have been shoveling it forever.
