I read the whole thread and found that Arthur had said that twice.
But for that simple blunder he could have escaped this wrath.
Wrath? Not from me. I think I've been pretty civil here - and I don't usually do abortion threads because of the invective that they tend to generate. I've simply attempted to make the point that his position isn't nearly as coherent as he appears to think it is.

What Losty said. I see a lot of parents that probably are unfit to be so. That doesn't mean that I'm of a mind to impose the force of law to prevent it (particularly via prior restraint). Abuse your kids? Yeah, the state should intervene. Simple bad parenting or values I find objectionable? No, there's a line somewhere, and this doesn't cross it.
