Sorry, Andrew, but your latest post only makes the problem deeper. You are criticizing other people for not seeing that Moss’s drug use is ‘her own business’ and ‘not ours.’ If the fact that it’s her business doesn’t preclude you from criticizing her, it can’t preclude them from doing so either. Or is it that you’re allowed to make criticisms that other people can’t?
As for your criticism of the companies, the fact that it is based on the moral views of Milton Friedman does not make it compatible with the view that we should refrain from making other people’s business ours. Now if Friedman had joined you in issuing (vague and self-contradictory) fatwas against the criticism of Moss, you might be able to say that your errors here were also those of the great man. But under the actual circumstances, I think Friedman should be left alone.
