The same objection I have to someone cutting off my little toe. It is painful and means that I'll forever be missing a part of myself. Not a big deal - just a minor to moderate negative outcome.
You are responding to a straw man again - and I am rather surprised that you have been rewarded for doing so since it is rather insulting to attribute silly beliefs to people without cause. This is a complete reversal of what Wedrifid_2010 said. He vehemetly rejected thepokeduck's proposal that everyone should have their heart broken - because he found the idea of someone deciding that everyone else should have their heart broken abhorrent and presumptive.
Then, in the very comment you replied to, Wedrifid_2010 said:
That is explicitly declaring no inclination toward controlling other people's self-heart-breaking impulses.
You're deliberately ignoring this comment of yours: "If the superhappys were going to remove our ability to have our hearts broken I wouldn't blow up earth to prevent it."
You are therefore at least slightly in favor of controlling other people and many would interpret your tongue-in-cheek comment to say you support it.
What the? No. "Would not blow up the earth to prevent it" doesn't mean "slightly in favor". That's as absurd as saying "greater than negative twenty million" necessarily means "slightly positive".
EDIT: Ok, me getting downvoted I can understand - someone has been mass dowvnvoting me across the board. But xxd has been upvoted here. This makes no sense! I'd better stop responding on this subject.
I've been very confused by the exchange as well. I can't imagine how xxd could be honestly misunderstanding what you said so badly, and I assumed they are trolling and would be downvoted accordingly. Maybe sockpuppetry is at work?
Who has (read) access to the "who up-/downvoted what?" portion of the database? This might well be something easy to verify, and if so it may be something for a mod to squash.
