This post by @Adam Smith should be memorialized in a some sort of hall of fame:

Comprehensive, clearly articulated, and unassailable in its logic.

I find it interesting that @CZAMFlyer and @RatherBeInYOW are essentially accusing @Adam Smith, @24left, myself, and many others of virtue signalling our moral absolutism and thereby being disingenuous. Meanwhile, the exact same thing could be said for them: @CZAMFlyer and @RatherBeInYOW are also virtue signalling, but in their case, the signal being sent is about their greater capacity for compassion and their indifference towards AC's mediocre J product.

Anyways, I think everything that could be said on this topic has been said. Perhaps @tcook052 could let one of @CZAMFlyer or @RatherBeInYOW have the last word and then close this thread.
