	Perhaps we all should.  This has gotten touchy and why

	These brands of reasoning get very cumbersome, especially
	when taken to the reductio ad absurdum, which in this case
	would reduce to nobody being able to sell anything to anyone
	because just about anything you care to name can be used to
	fashion a weapon which may in turn be used unjustifiably
	against one person by another.  It is a fallacious argument
	and must be seen as such, lest we get ourselves bogged down
	in some seriously flawed thinking.

	And that is fine. :)

	Can we all kiss and make up now?  Kissing's a whole lot
	more fun than fighting.
