"or in essence the logic being that everyone should feel and react to violence as they do"
It always seems to come back to collectivism for these "feels" arguers, doesn't it? They quite literally want to enforce the same feelings for everyone at the barrel of the State's gun.
I gotta be honest, when I decided I would take up the mantle of reason and logic in every discussion, I did not see myself being forced to defend pedo-bots from...not even basic logical fallacies, but the complete and total absence of even an argument. It's not wasted effort for all the reasons you point out in your second-to-last paragraph, but, ick.
