Yes, MMario. That's where this went wrong: at the start, not later. My take on it is that the subject for intellectual inquiry here was: "Given the cultural imprinting upon American citizens of a propensity to violence, and overcoming your denial of it, may we have a peaceful dialogue to deepen my understanding of you." The boat doesn't float.

If you disagree with the premise, you disagree with Daylia's premise, and since it's daylia's premise, you are attacking daylia, and that's ad hominem, and you are violent. Logic right up the wazuu.
