[net.motss] Dyer claims the moral high ground!

No moral high ground, Ken, merely a plea for proper behavior.
In case you didn't catch it, I did ask Sophie to avoid stooping
to your own tactics.

Why don't you stop and take a look around?  No one takes you seriously,
like a child who insists on calling attention to himself at a gathering
much to the chagrin of the guests.  You are an electronic pariah, and
an embarassment to DEC, a role which you apparently relish.  But it's
tiresome and irrelevant, and an invitation to ignore you until you
shape up was more than overdue.

And with that...

I think that's EXACTLY what's being suggested:  morality by
historical consensus.  Apparently such a historical consensus
can only be changed by "morally justifying" something on the
basis of the previous consensus, and then only if it's ratified
by an eleven tenths majority of the population. :-)
