Digitaldog, you are admonishing responders to discuss the topic at hand or leave.
Yup, if they don't like that the owner of this free site has produced an essay of his choosing, one that no one is forced to read, reply or agree with, they should leave.
I'm fine with the opposing view. Even if that suggest a bigoted view. I'm not fine with folks bitching that this discussion doesn't belong here because it's a photo site when the person making the post/essay owns it, and it's discussed in a forum that has no obvious hooks to photography (Rantatorials).
You don't like this topic, leave.
