And this has absolutely nothing to do with your stance on circumcision, I assure you. I disagree with people all the time on these boards quite happily, but if you had read what I wrote further above, you'd see that I believe circumcision for religious reasons is generally reasonable justification. Others disagreed with you on that that, but I wasn't one of them.

Let me spell this out for you again so you can understand where your hypocrisy stands out. If this doesn't help you understand what I'm saying, then you're simply going to have to stop and think about this for a time until it makes sense, and you??re going to need to read this information very slowly and deliberately. Let??s start with three basic facts:
1. You sign up to participate on an Internet forum where people discuss things with strangers.
2. You initiate a thread containing a poll on the subject of circumcision, asking if people are circumcised and what their opinions on the subject are. Later in the thread, you mention that you wish you??d been circumcised
3. You state your basis for supporting circumcision, which is your religious beliefs.

Now for the contradictions, which certainly look very hypocritical, considering the three corresponding facts above:
1. You demur (avoid giving an answer based on your scruples) answering someone's question in one of the posts above because you'd "rather not discuss this with someone I don't know." See the contradiction there? You're the one who signed up to participate on an Internet discussion board. That's who you discuss things with on these forums--perfect strangers.
2. When Stoner Shadow Wolf asked you why you wish you??d been circumcised, you said ??for religious reasons? but when he questioned you further, you told him you??ve already said more than you should ??to just any random person.? The contradiction here is the fact that you raised the subject and initiated the thread in the first place, then stated your own reasons for wishing you??d had the procedure. Yet you didn??t feel you could answer his questions because he??s a random person? Again, remember, you??re the one who signed up to participate on an Internet discussion board with, yes, random people. More than just one contradiction there.
3. When Stoner Shadow Wolf asked you why your religion condoned the removal of a boy??s foreskin, you gave a very brief explanation before demurring again on the basis that you really shouldn??t be discussing such things with a random person or someone you ??don??t even know? and saying you needed to discontinue your discussion of such godly matters. The contradiction here lies in the fact that you pointed to your religious beliefs to justify your support for circumcision, yet when he questioned you about it, you said you couldn??t continue discussing godly matters with someone you don??t know. Contradiction number 1 is involved here, too. You??re discussing all this with people you don??t know. You started a thread to discuss this whole subject with people you don??t know.

I??m fairly certain this may all confuse you further, and I??ve just about come to the conclusion that you??re not able to read and understand things quite in the same fashion that others do, which means my assessment of you as a faker may indeed be inaccurate. If you were actually able to comprehend the posts above, none of what I??ve said above would have been confusing to you, including that little aside regarding plastic surgery and tattoos, which you interpreted me as having disapproved of.

I certainly wish you well on your quest for circumcision peace, but I suspect that it may be of benefit to your mental health if I stop engaging you in further conversation here.

My religion is very secretive and I am trying to answer people's questions as best I can without giving more information than should be given.
If you noticed I did not bring up the discussion of religion. Somone else asked me why I wished to be circumcised and I said "for religius reasons" a very general statement as I didn't wish to say more than necessary.
When questioned further I gave the 5 sentence version of a 50 page story.

I would like to make a point about your last paragraph, particallarly this sentence:
"but I suspect that it may be of benefit to your mental health if I stop engaging you in further conversation here."

Ever watched the movie V for Vendeta? Remember how when V and that girl (I can't think of the girls name at the moment) first meet she says "are you like a crazy person?" and V responds by saying "I'm sure some will think so."
Well just think on that a minute.
