Before you follow up with a rant on being downvoted for merely having a different opinion: I only speak for myself but I don't mind you saying you're opposed to this proposal. Sure, it makes me not like you but if I downvoted everyone I didn't like it'd be a full-time job.

The reason (at least, for me) is the rather insensitive way in which you expressed your opinion. Take a few steps back and reconsider what you wrote on what is essentially a thread about a father losing his daughter.
