No, that's not present in my comment, or in my value system. It is not the specifics of your beliefs, or my attitude to them, that has earned my scorn.

I could have guessed your beliefs... but i didn't. I used "laissez faire" because that encapsulates what you wrote, and no more.

I did put all of laissez-faire in a sack and beat it like vermin. It's not a intellectual position, it's a grift. I gave you the condensed argument already.

I apologise to HN at large for letting my temper get the better of me, which is a disservice to the ethos. I'm working on it.

I do not apologise to you, strictnein. I recognise three sins: littering, cruelty to the defenceless, and wilful ignorance.
