Not just you; plenty of people made the same incorrect spelling.

But the fact that you were angry when you wrote that reply isn't good, on a totally separate note.

The more emotion you put into an argument, the more you allow your emotion to be manipulated by your enemy, which puts you at a disadvantage. Rationality wins arguments - that is, rationality makes everyone who sees the argument think more favorably of your side. That, really, was my point in continuing that thread: logical, rational countering of every emotional point made creates the appearance of me 'winning.'

I purposely stay out of them.

Incidentally, the last time someone from my parents' church tried to get me started on the topic of how gays were ruining marriage, I told them to go complain at all the straight couples that cohabitate, have children together out of wedlock, and get domestic partner benefits.

At some point I think I'm going to be lynched, but it's less likely here than it was in North Carolina.

Yeah. My purpose in posting the poll was not to start a debate in my journal - I see people being stupid often enough in the world, I don't need to encourage it here. Apparently, however, just the words send some people into a crazed frenzy of soapbox-standing. :P
