When you take much, much more than you need, it becomes immoral.

That's your opinion. I rather not have a moral system where someone decides how much you do of anything is immoral.

I assume you're fine then with people inflicting as much violence on others as they want?

I strictly mentioned I wouldn't depend on someone deciding how much (x/violence) is moral or immoral.

Do you want to depend on someone to say how many beatings is moral to be inflicted upon yourself?

Regardless of what I want, we currently live in a society where the govt holds the monopoly on violence. You're free to have your opinion that an adolescent libertarian utopia is possible though.

You are also free to clap at internment camps and smile at your own moral and intelectual superiority.

Would you please stop doing flamewars on HN? We've asked you repeatedly and we ban accounts that keep doing this.

Generic ideological flamewars are among the worst, because they're so repetitive.

Okay. This is the first 'warning' I've read. I would read the thread that prompted this flagging, where I responded to a literal insult.

Ok, I've responded to a couple of the comments upthread. Not seeing a moderation reply doesn't mean we implicitly endorse a comment. The likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it.

Re previous 'warnings': https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19894978, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19696256, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19348644 are the ones I was referring to.
