Yawn.

Okay, so you believe - let's assume - that in the course of my
discussions on this newsgroup I've verbally committed myself to
propositions which entail that what I am doing is morally wrong. I
find your attempts to argue that point absolutely pitiful, but you're
convinced that you've demonstrated it beyond all reasonable doubt. So
you think you've demonstrated that I'm a hypocrite, and I think that
this, like pretty much everything you say, is a joke. Okay. Well,
we've certainly got that much established.

Do you have any desire to move forward from there? Or will you be
content to endlessly repeat the unargued assertion - which I think is
a joke and will be recognized by such by any reasonable person - that
you've shown that I'm a hypocrite, for all eternity? Supposing I were
a hypocrite, what of it, why would you or anyone else except me care?
Do you have no desire to discuss more interesting topics?
