There is nothing wrong with differing opinions and perspectives on an issue like this; in fact, it's preferred, or else you end up with a Reddit-style circle jerk, but it needs to be based in reason to be actually thoughtful. And, particularly, on a message board it needs to be defended when questioned, as any opinion needs to be, or else it's just trolling, intentional or not.

I am not saying we shouldn't engage him, I am just asking that we put away the torches and pitchforks, I would like to have him go back to his family and/or church and argue in favour of gay marriage, not telling tales of intolerent liberal f****** and their godless sins!
