Semantics. First, I never said spankings were abuse. Second, a spanking is simply a mild form of beating. Period. End of sentence.

if you doubt the difference, come see me and I'll give you an example of each and then if you can still talk after the beating example, I'll ask you again if a spanking is a beating.

Good. Asinine statements like that further reinforce
my arguments. Thanks!
(edit) and to clarify my point here, after reading your next post, if you cannot keep your temper in check long enough to post a reasoned counter to my anti-spanking arguments, how can we possibly believe that you are capable of holding your temper in check long enough to keep a spanking from turning into a beating that is abusive?
