David,
I don't think it was 100% crystal clear that Eric wasn't being serious.
If I didn't know Eric, and I didn't know that he wasn't married, and I
didn't know that he was a swell guy anyway who would never advocate
domestic violence, I might be disturbed as well.
However, Eric is a swell guy and he was simply giving an faux anecdote to
make a point, albeit facetiously and somewhat flippantly. Please try to
take that into account. :-)
Man, this has sure become a heated debate! -- glad that it's migrating over
to .off-topic.debate as it drifts away from SW and into political or racial
issues.
In the meantime, let me offer the suggestion of turning back time 20 years
to being a kid: Pretend that you were born in 1993 and you are now entering
this debate. What would be your viewpoint as a 7-year-old? What arguments
would you put forth arguments in favor of one side or the other? How would
you react to the adults viewpoints expressed recently?
