Do you allow for a difference in opinion on the subject? Of course there are differences of opinion. There's my opinion. And there's the wrong opinion. <bg>

I do allow for a difference of opinion on the subject. I have observed, in fact, that there are different kinds of people with different sets of mores and values and they produce, on the subject of the ethics involved in this case, two different positions about bashing others where they have arranged not to allow their bashing to be responded to. In your case, you have actually moderated me out in the middle of a discussion, and continued the discussion with insults to me from you and your allies in the discussion, having arranged for me to be unable to respond. Probably they have different ethical standards on other subjects, too. I allow for different opinions, even very different ones. It doesn't mean I don't think such behavior as yours in that case is ignominious, of course. See how specific I am about why, when I call your behavior ignominious?
