- People who are unable to distinguish between smacking and beating and abuse should be abjured from public debate on the issue.
- Parliaments do not exist to "change the culture," they exist to write law.
- Personal views on how you would discipline your own child or how you yourself were disciplined as a child are irrelevant to the issue of writing laws that limit how others discipline their own children.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
