Still no engagement with actual arguments brought up several posts ago at this point. Still more attempts at derailment.

Speaks for itself. I shall leave it at this then.

Okay fine, you'll get one last chance at making a substantive point.

Judging by your posts, you seem to be acting from some sort of libertarian framework.

With that in mind, let me ask you: Is what you propose not directly against the non-aggression principle so highly valued by said ideology?

If your energy consumption burns down my forest or drowns my beachfront land, you have initiated violence against me, have you not?

Stopping you from doing so would be well within the remit of a night watchman state by that standard. It would be you that attempts to oppress me, not the other way around.

You don't owe me anything. You owe this forum some things, such as substantive conversation. You also owe yourself more dignified behavior.

It is interesting you identify with the repugnant parts of society - the polluters and destroyers - despite never being addressed as such. My meta-commentary ended up being a vehicle for self-flagellation.

>until we coerce the more repugnant parts of society

And the troll still thinks I owe him a conversation.

So are you confirming your self-perception as repugnant, then?

I'm sorry. It'll get better.

I don't think of you as such, if that helps. Just a little misguided and overly aggressive.

Go away, troll.
