As I’ve pointed out to you repeatedly, your lack of comprehension of objective morality is entirely a personal failing on your part. If you understood it and disagreed with it, that’d be a respectable position. But your denial of its coherency just points to what’s wrong with you. It’s like someone who mocks free market capitalism by repeating phrases from Adam Smith with nonsense words substituted for “market” or “financial.” It’s just self-aggrandizing stupidity.
Huh? I understand it and think it’s meaningless. So there.
Alistair Crowley is morally responsible.
Well, was. Unless you know something about Crowley that I don’t.
And, to be serious for a moment, Alistair Crowley probably WAS more morally responsible than the average 21st Century American…he was completely aware of the im/morality involved in the things he did and accepted that instead of blaming the moral consequences of those actions on somebody else.
What the hell did you mean by that?!
Was that polemically sent?
Don’t chicken out and not return to this thread. I want to know what you meant. I want to know… I want to know what you meant!
Yeah!
Alistair Crowley was to posuers what Tyrannosaurus was to dinosaurs.
If you’re at all interested in Aleister Crowley, check this out (starting at p. 103). Avram Davidson’s prose, it has been said, begs to be read aloud.
No you don’t. You either don’t understand the sentence – and you’re therefore either a non-English speaker or an imbicile – or you have an opinion. It is clear that you do have an opinion, and that it is of the most selfish, self-aggrandizing, solipistic sort. Which you attempt to disguise by spewing nonsense. But we ain’t buying.

Oh, great, like I really needed to go buy four more books at BetterWorldBooks.
Yep.
Huh? I frimkle it and think it’s babnogular. So there.
You don’t have to, you can click the link and read it online.
Hey, that guy totally ripped off Fight Club!
You might possibly argue against the importance or relevance of the question, but asking whether slaveowners share moral responsibility for the bloodshed of slave rebellions is not meaningless.
Must be a major disappointment for our repubs. The libs just don’t jump on stupid little bandwagons of blame. Of course it is Palins fault with Cheney pulling the strings.
It was once. Rent got too high, so I moved to Post Apocalypse. Kind of a fixer-upper, but it’s fun shooting feral children from my balcony with my makeshift crossbow.
Heavens! Have you some sort of quarrel with them?
Puns like that, he’s gonna turn the crossbow on you next. Better bolt.
Ok, bub. Let’s suppose the answer is yes–they are morally responsible. What are the consequences? And how are those consequences materially different than if we supposed the answer was no?
I read about four pages of it and knew I had to own the book. I went to BetterWorldBooks and searched on “Avram Davidson” and found a whole boatload of books by him. I bought four.
And it’s all your fault.
