When _any_ widespread behavior is singled out, implicitly or explicitly, as a sign of superior or inferior character, _there_ you see the obnoxiousness of moralism. Such judgments violate solidarity -- and at least the impression I get is that PETA is not interested in solidarity with anyone who doesn't accept its moral conception of animal rights. That is intolerable.
But I don'tg see why John Thornton made his legitimate _general_ point in a response to B and Mike Beggs, both of whose posts seemed to deny a wish to impose their preferences on others.
