Yep! He made an accusation with two premises: 1). That I (and Rand) had called "someone" evil because they did not conform, and 2). That doing what is claimed in premise #1 is "to use force". ("Denouncing and calling someone evil (as both you and Rand have done) because they do not conform to your arbitrarily derived moral construct is to use force.") Obviously, we call someone evil when they exhibit attributes we associate with western vices--not because they are non-conformists! Both his premises are so utterly absurd that one would think he would distance himself from them properly and with full apology--instead of continuing his charade of smoke and mirrors. I hate to take a belittling tone with him but how do you treat someone whose sole demonstrated purpose is to be contrary and dishonest??
