Sorry, I forgot to include one premise. We need the premise that
Jonathan Ball is a moral agent. This would be formalised as M(j). Dave
Harrison would perhaps question this premise, he has suggested that
Jonathan Ball might be less intelligent than an ape. Perhaps he will
help to save Ball this way.

That's very funny, Ball, but just tell me which premise is wrong,
there's a good boy now.

actually it's quite funny as it's another of your PROJECTIONS.

You may very well be serious in making it, but it's very funny to me,
and to quite a few others too, I would imagine. Of course I'm
competent to judge whether an inference is valid in first-order logic.
There isn't any subject related to this argument which I'm less
competent to discuss than you. If you reject the conclusion it's your
job to tell me which premise is wrong. Your "response" is lame and
evasive.

You really are quite pitiful, aren't you, Ball?
