      You’ve clearly stated your belief in there being a point at which you will no longer treat another human being as a human. The only difference is where you believe that point to be.

        Of course there is a point where you can no longer afford to treat some other person as human. That’s the entire point behind descriptors such as “inhumane acts” - that someone who commits them can no longer be safely given those allowances. I’m no saint, nor do I pretend to be one. I live in a real world, where if you grant bad people far too many allowances, they’ll eventually stab you in the front, if they haven’t already stabbed you in the back.
