Because, as someone had already told you once when people got angry at your defense of Roissy's writing, sometimes the tone does tell us more than the denotation! I didn't downvote him originally, but now I'm going to. I'm not some tolerant liberal guy, and I'm absolutely not going to tolerate this.

How then could the same facts be stated in a way that has acceptable "tone"?

How could one state in a tone that meets your approval that the socially conservative family structure that was the ideal endorsed by authority from the New Testament to the Georgian era worked and was good for everyone, and the new progressive emancipated family structure started not working in the Victorian era, and has been working less and less for everyone as it has become more and more progressive?
