    I’m sorry, I can’t take you seriously after this analogy.

    Because it casts doubt on whether a fear-based justification for immoral behavior is valid?

    Feel free to believe I’m an evil person who supports genocide because I won’t allow my underage daughter to die in a war. That’s fine.

    In the discussion you literally posited that any cost, including genocide, was worth not letting your daughter (implicitly, as I clearly outlined, not when she was underaged) die in a war. I don’t know what you call that except conditional support for genocide. Most people, I think, would have some sort of moral issue with the cost being ‘literal genocide’.

    Just bear that in mind when you agree with me on any other position I hold on any other issue that you are agreeing with someone who also is an evil genocide supporter, so you might want to think about whether or not it’s a good idea after all.

    The fuck? That’s some “Hitler liked dogs too - are you SURE you like dogs?”

    Even if your positions were 99% evil and 1% good, that doesn’t make the 1% good no longer worth agreeing with. And in all likelihood, it’s probably closer to the reverse. I don’t know why you feel that people can’t defend evil positions unless their entire worldview is evil.

    Anyway, you implying you’re not being uncivil is just silly and I think we should just end this before you end up taking a break from this community.

    Uh-huh. It’s just silly, because you made the accusation that I called you and not the position you were defending evil, and after it was pointed out that I quite clearly stated that the position you were defending was evil, you lost the ground you were making threats on. But ban me if you like. It would be terrible if someone thought that allowing genocide was evil.

      Okay, I’d say you had enough warnings that you were not being civil. You have been here far more than long enough to know why your behavior is not acceptable. I’ll give you some time to cool off.
