    Here we go again. Personally I did feel a little bit of schadenfreude
    towards Platt in this case. Unfortunately, as seems to be usual, a
    smug over-reaction to his post has turned a point of agreement (the
    immorality of the Supreme Court decision) into another meaningless
    clogging-up of the MD with aimless sparring. Can't you see that with
    this attitude, you'll never progress or agree on anything?

    Look,

    This isn't about getting faux philosophers to agree with my position.
     I gave up on that several months ago. I doubt that you are familiar
    enough with my writing to see this, so let's let it slide.

    My intention here is to expose dogma posing as political philosophy,
    that is, ideological opinion repeated ad nauseum but never defended
    with argument and evidence, despite repeated calls for same.

    This is a philosophy forum, not a Rush Limbaugh adoration society.
    Defending or ignoring repeated postings of opinion, when such
    opinions have been challenged yet remain unsupported, seriously
    erodes the integrity of this list.
