And I wonder about something - if you find fault with another person's method of explaining his position (as so many of you have done with my similes) or if you have to redefine the other person's words instead of addressing what he actually said (e.g., Black Panthers vs. Black Power), could it be that you are actually unable to build a credible argument against what the other person is saying?

I'll say it again - in this case, the plaintiffs had tried to force the baker to create something he didn't want to create. This is quite different from renting a house, or buying an item in a store, or getting your plumbing fixed. And whether such coercion is legal or not, it's certainly not a good way to gain the baker's respect.
