Dear Steve

My post on basic assumptions was more than attempted clarification.
I was trying to get you to consider the problem of first principles.

I really think that we must agree to disagree. You are obviously a moral relativist (one who believes there is no one overriding truth and all is merely a matter of situation and opinion) and I am a formalist (there is truth, it can be known, and it is universal) Those are two diametrically opposed basic assumptions  that are irreconcilable.

You are continuing to be an apologist for the actions of Slytherin and all I have to do is simply assert the facts as Rowling has stated them. In the canon of Harry Potter, unfortunately- Rowling writing is law.

I fear we must agree to disagree.
