I find your views deeply offensive to personal freedom

I don't. One might argue back that your repetative usage of the word "offensive" is not only offensive in itself, but somewhat arrogant too as it conveys a presumption that you are somehow right right right, and she (and any who agree with her, such as myself in a number of areas) are wrong wrong wrong.

The inclusion/usage of the word "offensive" in these kinds of discussions and debates is tantamount to a fallacious form of argument, and that is not what we are supposed be about here, yes ?

So, in the interests of a free and unfettered civil internut, how about you drop the use of the word "offensive" in the context you have been currently using it, [deleted], or at very least realise that any number of readers and participants in this discussion are viewing your views to be similarly "deeply offensive" etc.
