skiz: that is an absurd conclusion to draw from either the posts i made or mixedmedia has made here. that there is a distinction between what might make sense intuitively and what makes sense on a macro-scale is not an attack on the legitimacy of the experience that you have had intuitively--what's at issue is whether that experience can be extended into claims about a legal system as a whole, made into a way of thinking about how such a system can work. and there are arguments to be made both ways about this matter. you could have made arguments. this is a discussion that can veer toward debate. you know, an exchange of differing views. given that, you have to expect from time to time that you'll be called out on things. i happens to everyone sooner or later.

i suppose getting all huffy and deciding in a drama queen moment to pack up your toys and leave is a response.
it's just not one that i would have expected.
