Since I just recently returned from a rather lengthy hiatus, I'm not in the know about what qtns' posting was like during my absence. To be honest, I think it's possible that your past problems with him may have caused you to read into what he says much too much, as I have been friends with him a long time and he has never espoused support for murder as the solution to any problem. But I'm not going to deny out of hand what you say out of hand, and I can certainly be persuaded with good evidence.
Ahem. http://www.annabelleigh.net/messages/606775.htm But I have started reading it as much as I can since I've returned, and I have read it a lot during previous times when you have said it was a hotbed of immoral comments and stances. I do think that, like some of the others we've mentioned, your anger and frustration has caused you to read into things too much, or to make overly negative interpretations of certain statements you have read. I agree that things do get said here that should not be said, at least not in the way they're articulated, but I do not agree that the majority of people here are like that. I'm not going to say that's never happened. On the other hand, you are going in the opposite direction and giving him the benefit of the doubt when he was pretty clear about what he meant and is still supporting it as the link above shows. I am simply saying that many who like to pontificate upon the moral failings of others are hardly in a position to do it without looking like hypocrites. That's a 'two wrongs make a right' argument, not to mention a genetic fallacy. At any rate, I am sure that no one here is morally perfect, including you, but you still continue to criticize what you consider to be moral failings in others. Does that make you a hypocrite too, then? |
