I have strong opinions on diamonds, which I've refrained from stating on this thread because I'm trying to be nice. However, I have to comment on the above because this is NOT an effective argument. Just because there are all kinds of problems in the world does not mean someone can't address one specific problem. Also, your
ad hominem attack based on an unwarranted assumption is not an effective argument.
