My dear madam,
You write most eloquently, however, please answer the objections, don't =
merely call them names. (so far your argumentation has been along the =
lines of the ad hominem fallacy)
Cheers!

Dear colleagues,
I have no disposition to linger on John Moss's odd preoccupation with =
anal sex except to note that there is no sexual practice limited to =
same-sex couples, nor yet any sexual practice which is universal among =
them. Epidemiology has marched on since the early 80s, too; more recent =
studies might yield more apposite information about the risks of sex =
generally.
Jacob Spencer brings up the old "man marries dog" argument, which =
might be compelling if there were any other circumstance in which one =
could show that dogs were permitted to enter into legal contracts, but =
which is otherwise pure silliness, like most of the rest of his =
argument.
In the absence of anything more substantial than this, I think it's =
fair to acknowledge another of the impasses that characterize our Vision =
2020 conversations and ask if anyone knows how this rain will affect the =
wheat and lentil harvests . . . and if somebody wants to know by what =
standard, let 'em listen to the Farm Report.
