It sounds to me like you are trying to get him to conform to slave morality. I could argue at length why pirating is not immoral, but I know it has been already repeated enough by people like Lawrence Lessig and David Bravo.
Nietzschean flamewars? Is that a thing or you just made that up?
I don't know if I made it up or you did, but invoking "slave morality" in a Hacker News argument was certainly a new one.
So you didn't like that I made a reference to that?
I didn't like that you took a personal swipe in a Hacker News comment.
That's not a personal swipe. There's a clear difference between attacking someone e.g. "you are a moron", and stating "it sounds to me like you are trying to get him to conform to slave morality". The first example attacks a person and the second example describes an action.
