I think the comparision is unreliable and inflammatory. It therefore adds no value to the discussion. If anything, that was ad hominem, in so far as it was appealing or referring to emotions rather than logic.
I also included a conditional clause in my statement.

What's a valid retort? My retort? Your retort? His retort? I'm confused...
I can understand if you think the rape comparison was inflammatory but "unreliable?" What do you mean by that?
You must understand that
you think it was inflammatory (probably 'cause it inflamed you). Obviously, I didn't or I would never have posted it. Your reaction to the subject matter aside, it was a fair comparison. Bad deeds aren't necessarily forgivable and it all depends on where you draw your line.
Yes, you did include a conditional clause and, I suppose, "living in a strange world" is a mild insult. Perhaps the
Tilted Politics board has turned me reactionary.
I read all responses to my posts but I can't guarantee that I'll understand them!
