By stating "If this offends you move on.", he was simply referring to if the argument offends you or if you're tired of hearing the debate, not specifically his point of view. And, it was only stated because someone said the argument was over, and, it didn't need to be brought up again. I agree with jcsperson, though, the title of the thread is clear. I opened it because I'm still interested in hearing both sides, the debate is far from over, as long as there are people who agree with greyhound racing and people who don't, and, I feel like I've learned new things just from reading this thread. It's just like any other debate that pops up in here all the time. Perfect example is declawing. That is always going to be a controversial topic that will always spark a debate as long as some people declaw and some people don't. I think healthy debates are a good thing, even if one person will change their perspective or allow themselves to learn new things, then the debate was worthwhile. I have stopped opening the political threads because I'm tired of hearing about it. But, I don't think it's necessarily appropriate to state that in the thread itself. By not replying or posting, I'm making it clear that the topic is of no interest to me. Jcsperson has made all of his statements in here in an educated, polite manner, as far as I've seen. I've enjoyed reading every one of his posts, and, sincerely hope he doesn't stop writing them. As long as the debate can be civil, I'm all for any topic being discussed, no matter what my opinion on the subject may be. And, just for the record, I'm on the fence as far as greyhound racing goes.
