Yes, you "feel" like you just heard me you say that Jarhyn was unethical for saying that people who want retribution in the form of prison rape have a boner. But you have no good reason to "feel" that way. You are just attacking me. If this is not your attempt at retribution (grossly misplaced, but still), what is it? You are attacking me (obviously; what else would the "I did not see that coming..." rhetoric do, other than attack? )Jarhyn said:Yes. You have a "revenge boner". A lot of people do. In this case "revenge boner" is a pejorative description of the desire to consummate revenge and experience a drive relief. It is a pejorative for any aroused emotional drive. You get "horny" but instead of that horniness to rub your dick, it's horniness to see someone else suffer during an act of revenge. It is a base instinct and one that rational humans should learn to either overcome or redirect.
It is a pejorative description of a significant portion of human morality, and since you do that deliberately, it is unethical on your part to do that. It is also epistemically irrational on your part to fail to realize that this is part of human morality. Humans who are being epistemically rational will realize just retribution is, well, just.
I feel like I just heard you say that Jarhyn was unethical for saying that people who want retribution in the form of prison rape have a boner.
We’re talking about people who want to hurt other people in serious ways and the person who is mocking it is the bad guy in that equaltion?
I did not see that coming...
Of course, you vastly misconstrue my words, and have no good reason for the attack. As many of my opponents, you attack a caricature. But leaving that aside, even if you were right about me saying that, you would still be attacking me. Again, why the attack, if not instinctive retribution for a perceived offense (even if in this case non-existent)?
