Do you yourself have conclusive reasons for rejecting pre sup or is your hatred held pre-suppositionally?
Nah, it just isn't something people should bring to the table of ideas when conversing with others. Sure we all have some beliefs which seem too basic to overturn given who we are. So what. Where that's the case one should simply recluse themselves from the discussion. If you have no points to make that are of a general enough nature that no one with out your basic beliefs would rightfully scoff, why bring them up? Of course, you could ask if everyone agrees for instance that "there is a reason for everything" or "nothing can come from nothing" or whatever it is that runs you. But if the answer is "no, I'm not convinced of that" then in the current group at least that belief is not relevant to the discussion. Your choices at that point are to find a different discussion topic within the group that all are interested to discuss, or go find a group within your own choir.
