Well, I think I did that, too. But I simply see no reason that I should treat as reasonable someone who doesn't reason well.

As the old saying goes: "You can't argue with a sick mind." He's not sick in any pathological sense, but LORD, he's not well, either. The 'pushpin is as good as poetry' school of philosophy gets no respect from ME, and that's essentially his point: 'Who's to say which morality is 'better', when it's so subjective?' Well, we ALL are, that's who, and if he can't tell the difference between what a terrorist is all about and a government that's doing its best to defend it's people without being completely beastly themselves, well, he gets the metaphorical back of my hand, because he deserves no less.
