ETA: I happen to agree with your argument here, as my posts in this thread should show, but you have shifted from the nice, mellow fellow you mostly are here, to the self-righteous virtue-signaler you sometimes fall into. And to Gregg of all people. Disagree with him--I have on the implicit arguments of his questions in this thread, and I doubt he likes my approach either since he ignored most of my responses, but I have tried to not question his motives.
But you are calling out his motives and intent and he has a long history here of being a nice guy. You give the benefit of the doubt to Chance, who is also a nice guy, but who has far more right-winged opinions that someone with your beliefs should be more antagonistic to, but you are cordial with him (maybe you have not always, I forget). I just don't get taking it up a notch with Gregg of all people. I just think we are better off if we take the approach you take with Chance on this stuff. It leads to less defensiveness, which shuts things down. Your points were valid...I just don't know why you had to assume motives in this case, and why you sometimes fall back into thinking and saying you are morally superior to everyone else.
