Your response and charges of moral relativism are longer than the comment you're replying to. It's as if you're liberally reading into motivations and even psychology, in order to make your point about externalities.

Don't tell people what their motivations are. The original comment talked about greed, my comment questions our definitions of greed.

Edit: Can't you just reply and make a point about externalities instead of being essentially passive-aggressive?

> Finally, a suggestion to all: avoid acronyms, or at least spell them out on first use. It's highly likely that "SF" meant "Science Fiction" and not "San Fransisco". Knowing the correct definition of an acronym can help avoid embarrassing situations.

Wowzers. How about you design the guidelines for conversations, and we can defer to you if there's ever any ambiguity.
