[MD] A Place for the Principled Person

[Arlo J. Bensinger]

[Gene had replied to the Plattman]
Wouldn't that harm be up to the people involved to worry about? It seems like
you're the one who wants to involve the collective, to mandate the behaviour of
individuals. If someone chooses to cheat on their partner, then it is between
the cheater, their partner and the 3rd party.

You seem to want to have a collective to force people to follow your individual
principle's. Humourus indeed!

[Platt attempts a famous Platteral Shift with Gene]
Like Arlo, you avoid the question. Would you ignore the harm done to the
betrayed person? Is harming others OK according to your principles?

[The Jarloker intervenes]
Gene didn't avoid anything. He already answered your haughty self-righteousness
in saying "If someone chooses to cheat on their partner, then it is between the
cheater, their partner and the 3rd party."

You, on the other hand, did a masterful job of ignoring Gene's point. (That's
what the Platteral Shift is for, Gene, after all). "Wouldn't that harm be up to
the people involved to worry about? It seems like you're the one who wants to
involve the collective, to mandate the behaviour of individuals."
