Why is that so difficult for some of you to wrap your minds around, that people can be intelligent, and still do something DIFFERENT that you?
Also, I am cut. I do NOT use lube when I masturbate. It has NEVER hurt. Why do people think this is neccesary for cut men?

First off... in what way was Zeraph being ignorant. He was stating his opinion just as much as you are. I suggest you take a step back and relax.
Second... great you made an educated decision. This does not mean it was the right... or even the wrong decision.
Part of what we are all reacting to here is that circumcision, in North America has been thoroughly socialized. Most don't question it in the slightest. In fact, many advocate for it despite the fact that they haven't even given it much thought.
You chose to cut your child... bully for you.
I still say it was an uneccessary act. What you did was the equivalent of removing a baby's appendix on the fear that one day it might burst. Heck, we don't need an appendix and it can potentially cause problems, let just get that sucker out of the kids belly now.
Was that the right decision? Maybe... hard to tell since the appendix will never have a chance to be bad or benign. Is it going to harm the kid, maybe, maybe not.
Was it neccessary at that juncture? No.
