In a reasonable debate or discussion, one usually affords ones opponent the luxury of defining their own position. This is a luxury that that is all too rare on this thread. I regret many things I have said in anger or frustration to you and others over the years here. In this instance, I think there is a very clear case to be made that when one issues the types of moral condemnations that this thread is founded on and are continually perpetuated, then there is at the very least an implicit "ought" that is being put forward. It strains credulity to claim otherwise. When someone claims that someone else is evil or has done an evil act then there is clearly a standard that they are being held to. I don't have a problem with that. However: when you claim there is no standards and then turn around in the next breath and hold someone to your standard by condemning them, for instance, for their lack of moral character, then you are being inconsistent. The logic is there: Show me why that's not the case. "There are no OUGHTS", and that others "OUGHT to to adhere to your arbitrary moral system"
