"If one were so inclined, one could look at the parallels, which I itemized, and see the message."

We did. We commented on the parallels and their inapplicability as well. To the extent you could not see the differences, you also reveal your lack of understanding of the "key factors." You chose, as usual, just to move on without comment...opportunity missed.

I think the difference in the extent that someone is forcing their views on others is crucial. If they aren't harming others then in most cases their behavior shouldn't be considered a big deal.

There are of course a lot of other differences but I didn't try to mention them because they are not central to any point that I thought you where making or that I wanted to make. They where incidental differences which can be ignored. There are also many similarities but I think one difference of such major importance is enough to greatly weaken the analogy no matter how many similarities there are.
