On this one I guess I don't understand how this is a personal attack from me. You are saying that Aly was "browbeaten" by a bunch of hypocrites. Those are your words and you said them.
So how is it a personal attack from me to point out you assume that someone that changes their mind is not intelligent enough to make that decision without being browbeaten?
I don't mind apologizing when I feel that I'm wrong, and I don't want to attack you unfairly. So please let me know how you feel this is a personal attack on you, and I will in fact try to understand and apologize if I feel I was wrong.
