Magnanimous of you.
For whose benefit is your latest round of participation, oh bored-yet-altruistic one?
I was quoting Shakespeare, and I linked to the wikipedia page that explains the usage. I encourage you to read it.
Almost five hundred fifty more words from you this time, including:
- you so pretentiously
- kind of silly
- laughably ironic
- pedantic attention
- your nonsense
but none of which deal with reconciling Molyneux’s two (seemingly) mutually-contradictory statements.
I’ve offered two theories; here’s a third:
Being a fallible human being, perhaps Molyneux, when he said that he has “done a huge amount to promote the non-aggression principle in personal relationships,” was a bit sloppy and neglected to qualify that with “by stressing that the NAP should also be applied to children” (for example).
Now that he’s (apparently) posting at this forum, maybe he’ll pop in and offer some clarification.
