In regards to eating meat

Regarding the whole "killing a child" thing...

I'm pretty sure what Monkey meant was if we truly loved the murderer, we would allow the child to be killed.

In a conversation with me, he expressed that he would intervene in a torture scenario. But admitted that he did not love the torturer. I'm sure it is the same with the murderer.

Yes, I understand that. In fact, his comments about killing animals made more sense to me, knowing how he felt about not 'imposing your will over another.' My statement "I can understand how someone who thinks we shouldn't stop a murderer, wouldn't want to stop a butcher either" was a genuine show of respect for his views, even though I strongly disagree with that view.

The light bulb had gone on in my head. "Aha! Of course he doesn't want to tell the butcher not to kill animals! He wouldn't even tell a murderer not to kill a child! Now I get it! I finally understand Monkey!"

Nothing is "getting out of hand".

This thread is seriously derailed. I asked you to discuss this with the mods privately.

The PM simply reiterated the public posts.

Not true.

This is the last time I'm going to ask you, Monkey, to address any grievances privately, and cease making it public.
