: I agree that your posts always had logical arguments, and I hope you'll reconsider leaving. Your insights, while not always popular, were always interesting, and besides, I, personally, would miss you.
: -FloydFloyd, you surprise me. I don't doubt you'll miss Cope, and I won't argue with you that his insights were not always popular, but what's with the praise of his logic? In his arguments with me about animal rights, he claimed that with regard to animals, humans were superior, that morality only attached to humans, and that animals (in a particularly odious post, I thought) could not suffer spiritually. As Sir Gideon has so aptly demonstrated to me, these assertions cannot be proved by logic, but are mere statements of opinion, faith, or even emotion. Cope may have had his logical moments, but his diatribes against animal rights were not among them.
That said, I did like all his other posts. As for animal rights, he needs to lay off the meat -- that would clear his mind up real fast.
