Thank you for apologizing, though it really is not required. I expect downvotes (as one should). And, it doesn't even show up in the tally.

a 'in support of individual freedoms' and anti-'collective actions' piece.

Even in the other posts, i was not advocating one position over the other. It just bothers me when people excuse their own choices by saying the other options have no merit. This is sometimes done unconsciously, by not evaluating the other side properly. My comments were merely to bring out the other side. Once someone says they understand it (and i believe them) but they still choose what they choose, i stop.

Regardless, over here, eyepopslikeamosquito's listing reminded me of the DOI, to the point where i thought it'd be funnier (and to the point) with it. So, i added my comment. I did debate it for a moment because it makes it sound like i am for these ideas. But, humor won out. :) To be clear, i am neither for nor against taking action.

the fact that I voted on the basis of what I expected from you, rather than what you are actually saying, means that I should not have voted.

I appreciate the sentiment. Thank you.
