Read this a couple of times: IT IS NOT YOUR ARGUMENT THAT IS WORTHY OR NOT OF HOSTILITY, IT IS YOUR BEHAVIOR THAT PISSSES ME OFF.
Notice the two differences from the way you are framing it:
- it is not your argument, it is your behavior
- it is not an objectivist reaction, implicit in the word ‘worthy’
I have made that clear time and again. How did I make this clear? By specifically referring to your behavior, in specfic examples, often quoted quite clearly which I then respond to. I do this in sequence in the thread where they happened. As concrete and clear as possible.
It means that you assume people get mad at you because of the philosophical questions you are asking and the philosophical position you present. It seems inconceivable to you that the things you do, here, the way you respond, that is, your behavior here, could be what pisses people off. Even when I specifically mention specific behavior here, you still write, even in this last post, you still assume that it has nothing to do with how you interact with people.
For someone yearning so hard to find out how one ought to live, it is ironic in the extreme that you cannot even conceive of the fact that HOW you interact might affect other people and piss them off.
And so, instead of noticing what I react to, as clearly laid out, you assume, again, we are afraid of your argument or whatever motivations you attribute to us, rather than actually reacting to the way you interact with us.
You keep telling me that I must have a contraption and that’s why I don’t react to non-ocbjectivism like you do.
You consistantly frame my reactions in objectivist language and viewpoints, as you do in this post.
For example asking how I know my actions and preferences are more rational than other people’s, when I have made it clear I don’t think like that. And then when I point this out, you can’t just admit you made a mistake lumping a request to me and Phyllo that really only could apply to Phyllo.
You keep repeating things I have clearly understood.
You keep finding ways to bring in your position, in the same wording, in contexts where it is not relevent.
These are things I have pointed out, with quotes, in threads, meaning in context. And in response to my pointing this out, you tend to repeat the very actions that I pointed out. And yet…
No, no. It’s really about ‘your argument.’
