[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7765916, member: 6704184"] This is an enormously dishonest post, and you should be ashamed of it. I've presented no moral absolutism, you've completely misrepresented what I was referring to when I said that it doesn't matter what they think about the product, and the idea that anyone is more offended by "how people write about persecution than the actual persecution" is disgustingly dishonest nonsense that you've made up in order to appear morally superior to it. Shadowboxing with strawmen, and then decrying others as if the strawmen were real, and not your own invention. A rhetorical Syndrome, from the Incredibles. You make an absolute statement, with no argument, ("the latter is not true") and then act disgusted when someone disagrees in the same manner! Why should anyone respond to such a blandly unsupported assertion with anything more than the simplest statement of disagreement? Do you think I owe you something that you don't owe me in return? You know damn well that when I say that it doesn't matter what they think, I am referring to the fact that it is irrelevant to the issue of whether or not WW handled their treatment of the Chechen pogroms in an ethical manner, not some absurd statement to the effect of it not mattering to the state of those pogroms. Or maybe I should give you the benefit of the doubt, and explain, again, that whether or not the govt objects to the product is entirely irrelevant to the question of whether or not WW was wrong to present the Chechen crisis in the way that they did? But, honestly, I just can't bring myself to believe that you [I]honestly[/I] don't understand this. Everyone in this debate, here or in the other thread, or anywhere else I've seen this debate, agrees that the Chechen government is commiting an act of terrible human evil. There isn't a debate about that. No one is anywhere suggesting that writing about the subject in an insensitive and unethical manner is worse than killing people, so keep the melodrama in the theater, and stick to arguments people are actually making.
