      Seems pretty useless to do that here, now, when we all agree.

        So you agree that you should have an opinion on this, when you just explicitly avoided that, despite that having been my point all along?

          I have always had an opinion about it, I just don’t see a reason to bring it up when it is not the point of what I’m saying. That could be a little obnoxious.

            Oh yes, it would just be totally obnoxious to voice an opinion against child genital mutilation, on a FORUM.

            “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

              If it’s on a place where everyone already agrees and it’s not even the point of what I was saying then yes, it can be pretty obnoxious.

              If you are neutral

              I’m not neutral though.

                I haven’t taken any moral position on that.

                Okay. Ever heard of the term “avoidance”?

                  You’ve misunderstood. I have a moral position, I haven’t made a moral stance in this thread. Do you get the difference?

                    For about a dozen comments, I’ve been banging on about how my point is that my opinion is that there is absolutely no reason not to oppose child genital mutilation — during which you first actively avoided even taking a stance, and now say you always had a stance, but just refrained from telling it out of politeness.

                    I’ve seen this a thousand times. Like I said, I knew your nationality before I happened to gaze at the nick. That attitude is exactly what I’ve been protesting the whole time. Protesting, and reiterating that I’m protesting it. Which you’ve not gotten. Despite me pointing this out several times.
