Where did I advocate sliding scale fines in #22? I was explaining the intent of the law as you didn't seem to understand it.
If you wish to back away from that stance
I haven't taken a stance to back away from. Like I said, your original argument was invalid and easily refuted. After I pointed that out to you, you still seemed unable to comprehend the intent of the law therefore I explained it to you. I didn't advocate adopting such a law at all. I still sensing you have a comprehension problem with what I've written. I didn't defend the law, I explained it.
Uh huh. Have a good evening.
