As you said, it's a "strenuous" opinion.
I wanted time to think whether I thought it was too strenuous.

You all do a really good job of keeping our conversations at a respectful level, even when we disagree with the other persons opinions or behavior.

This particular topic has really painful under currents for a lot of people (on both sides of the fence), so I've probably been overly sensitive about not wanting the conversations to drift down into the gutter.
I wanted to keep the conversation as much as possible about Bushwacka and not about Epic.
And, of course, it's much easier to err on the side of being conservative. Something inflammatory, once public, can't be pulled back.
I was on the fence; Lynn said I was over-reacting and pushed me off the fence.  I appreciated that.
