If you notice, I rarely bring up science involving corporal punishment. The reason is clear - everything has been heard out, and people have made up their minds on the science. Some have seen it, some tune it out and put their fingers in their ears.
I shed light on another realm of research that is more likely to change the mind of parents - biblical research. The modern biblical research, which accesses and quotes the Hebraic context from ancient times, clearly colors the biblical text as commanding against corporal punishment. Just see Col. 3:21. We at the American church have long been learning new things about the Bible to liberate oppressed minorities.
I support the science, but everyone had heard those arguments. We are a Christian nation, hence I use Christian arguments against spanking.

Any comment that
1. Endorses child abuse (including pornography of such)
2. Imposes want to the point of imposition, meaning entitlement.
3. Contains self-entitled parent rhetoric, to the point of self-victimization
will not be published. Flexible application. Debate is allowed, but only civil arguments that presume the best of intentions in their opponent, on both sides.
