[QUOTE="Silvercat Moonpaw, post: 5116813, member: 46652"] Would it have helped if I'd put in more qualifications that I knew it was an amituruish attempt at psychology at the time I wrote it? I can never be sure when I write something like that whether I should sound sure or unsure. And am never sure afterwards whether it was my lack of skill or the reader's making an assumption. (Not to accuse you of doing something wrong, it just seems to happen many times on the Internet and like most humans I crave an answer to the puzzle.) I quite agree and find it nearly as bad as portraying humans as "the best". ("Nearly" because I love laughing at stupid humans.) Sorry, I was using myself as an example. And thought I [i]was[/i] being hypothetical by not pointing out anyone in particular. Are you postulating right/wrongness based on being a member of a species or based on the education that their circumstances might have given them which yes can include what species they are but is not an automatic trump card? (Or something else, because otherwise I'd be accusing you of being binary again.) Which is exactly the answer I want to give you. I'm really sorry I accused you of having a binary position. Or even implied. [/QUOTE]
