Yes, which is why arguing morality is literally the weakest argument you can put forward. Nobody cares.
And "it was leaked" doesn't make it an "invasion of privacy". Clutch your pearls elsewhere. I'm not picking up whatever the hell it is you're putting down.
And yet you do it, too, because moral considerations are important. And I disagree about moral arguments being weak, btw. You can make strong moral arguments; and there is an entire branch of philosophy about it.
Considering you were so vivid about me alledgly misquoting ealier, it is kind of remarkable that I did not say that.
But even if I did, 'it's not an invasion of privacy' is not a counter to 'it's not right, even if foreseeable' (paraphrasing here).
You mean "comment on a discussion forum"? Because I certainly don't see me being emotional here.
Good for you. I guess?
glances at article
shrugs
Don't care.
The finger-wagging morality police now trying to feign disinterest. What a waste of oxygen.
So? I never said I agreed with Gibson on this. I just stated legal considerations and my opinion on the matter. While it seems from your reply in the other thread that you're having a hard time with this, people other than you a capable of having original thoughts.
Yeah, it's become very clear you don't care whether your replies actual have bearing on what you're replying to. Instead you keep making up stuff I didn't say and accuse me of things you continue to do yourself. It seems a lot like you prefer to live in your fantasy world where you're the strong free-thinking alpha male who has figured the world out, while I'm a "delicate cupcake", "whiny loser", "hyperventilat[ing]", part of the "finger-wagging morality police" who has no clue about politics (nevermind I never talked about the political implications of this at all).
In other words, you continue to not make any actual points, and this is getting boring.
Are you still talking?
No, I'm "scared", forgot? WooooOOOOOoooooh
Good one. You really got me.
Ah, so you're scared now? 👻
yawn
Oh, I know, I know, that's "trying to feign disinterest", right?
Last word
Tried and failed.
