Breaking a
promise, without excuse, is a moral infraction.

It's clear that you and I (and I think Karen) have very different definitions of the word "moral."

As I have said before, and will say again, differing definitions are the key to most disagreements.

Probably if we used your definition of moral we would agree with you. I'm quite sure that if you used our definition of moral you would agree with us.

So we can quit arguing about whether irresponsibility is per se immoral and focus, if we want the discussion to continue, on agreeing on a definition of moral. If we get agreement on that, we'll end the argument. But I don't have time or interest for that at the moment.
