Invite Obama to Atlanta, we already did

But that simply isn't how it works. If you start a thread like this, you are opening it up to be discussed in every aspect of the topic. This includes disagreement. I'm really sorry that we don't agree on this particular topic, and in all honesty I am not going to argue whether or not to invite him. Those points have been made previously. All I am trying to say is that this does all fall into the original thread topic even if it wasn't quite what the writer intended.

Furthermore, making the decision for him would be telling him that he is not welcome. Nobody has done anything of the sort. We are just choosing not to invite him. If he decides of his own accord to go to Atlanta, that is his choosing.

As your second paragraph states, you have no problem with him coming to Atlanta if he so chooses. So why are you arguing?
If you don't want to write him an invite, don't. Nobody is forcing you to.
And if you have no problem with him attending, why are you attempting to persuade others not to invite him?

Your argument makes very little sense to me.
