ORIGINAL: tweakabelle The most likely reason for their reticence is that they disliked the result of the Irish vote, which lends itself to suggestions of homophobia. One can see this pattern repeated in threads on hate crime or other threads that are race-related. What I see repeated is this notion of sharing the approved view as a measure of mental fitness, and failure to do so as diagnostic. If the irrational hatred of, for example, queers and different race(s) that is a fundamental feature of homophobia or racism, isn't a sign of mental distress, then please tell us what it is. Is it something rational? Is it a sign of a robust healthy mentality? Is it a natural phenomenon? If it isn't any of these things, and you are objecting to the view that it is a "measure of mental fitness", then it is up to you to tell us what it actually is in your view. Instead, let us not digress. Your post characterized dissent as suggestive of mental illness. What's next, dunking stools? K.
