I'm all in favor of rehabilitation instead of punitive imprisonment too, but you did say "they should be disallowed from participating in a close, intimate relationship", not that they should be sent to rehab. We're not twisting your words at all. There's no other way to read that. You didn't say anything about rehabilitation, you were talking solely about restriction of relationships. If you meant something else, you should say what you meant.
I clarified that I did mean that umpteen times if you cared to look (including in the edit to the comment you just responded to), but the other commenter refused to listen to the nuance and called it "rhetorical flourishing".
People have terms for probation. I said that if you are violent and reoffending (domestic abuser) that there should be restrictions for you entering into a new or existing relationship. Which is a viable term for probation to prevent abuse.
The system for probation already exists, I said nothing about licenses or licenses affecting all adults - which the other commenter repeatedly asserts I'm suggesting. It is twisting and it is likely in bad faith.
You later clarified it, yes, but you're getting bent out of shape when people responded to what you had initially written. We can't see the future edits, nor read your mind for intent. We can only read what you have written.
The intent was clarified within minutes of me responding (and ignored) - and if you look deep, a commenter still asserts that I'm suggesting licenses for all adults.

Can you not see the disconnect and the spin the person is continuing to push? They are suggesting an entirely new system (licenses for all adults) and applying that to me, while I'm over here pointing to something that already exists as a likely implementation: probation terms (which they refuse to address).
I never suggested "offender lists". I'm not saying probation terms retroactively apply to past offenders, either.
