> I distinguish ideology from person So do I? Bit of a non-sequitur… > Would you happily say the same wrt criticism of a belief in flat-earth? Happily? What a loaded question. Would I expect a flat-earther to respond to claims which criticized their point-of-view by requesting evidence? Yes I would. edit > The question is not of being merely unhappy about criticism, but being personally affected. People are affected by criticism simply by receiving it. Feeling unhappy because of criticism is being personally affected. Words can harm and kill.

> So do I? Do you? you said you agree that "X is evil" villifies subscribers that philosophy. > Feeling unhappy because of criticism is being personally affected Not really, there is a difference between "I am a bad person" and "I subscribe to a bad ideology". The difference is you can un-subscribe if persuaded. > Words can harm and kill that's a non-sequitur..

  You seem more interested in scoring points than in a genuine discussion. > Do you? you said you agree that "X is evil" villifies subscribers that philosophy. It does. That's what those words mean. I didn't say I would find them evil (which is what you're claiming I meant). You haven't asked me how I feel about any particular economical-political theory. Is there something I could say that would cause you to reconsider your stance? If there is not, then please consider if this is the most productive use of your time.
