Well, golly. I thought I made a legitimate post regarding Union Conscription during the Civil War as an example of a reasonable application of the draft. I'm neither angry, nor trying to shout someone down.

Sometimes, when you have an emotional investment in the Rightness of your Cause, any disagreement, logical or not, feels like you're being repressed, doesn't it? And if you state that you're being "shouted down" by pro-war neanderthals, it gives your cause even greater legitimacy and pathos.
