re: #130 LudwigVanQuixote

Well, I am not going to argue the other side.

However, it is not an invalid argument either. The argument that you refrain from killing Larry when he is annoying because Larry has incalculable worth endowed by the fabric of creation itself, is much stronger than you don’t kill Larry in order to prevent Larry’s friends from killing you or because you think Larry is useful even though annoying.

A self defining argument (a close relative of self justifying).

You don’t know squat about why I wouldn’t kill someone because they were annoying.
