That was a very nice trick you pulled. I was even grimacing at the phrase "rather intelligent Leon Kass acolyte". Too bad it will be hard to do it again as we'll be on alert!
I second Allan, you definitely changed the meaning from OUGHT_TO(x) to GIVEN(x).
I posted this before, but it seems appropriate again, so here is the Mind Hacks post on bias blind-spot.
I do have a favorite blogger that gets under my skin through that sort of outside-group analysis. Unfortunately, the benefits to my epistemic health are not captured in any way to provide incentives for production.
The critique didn't push any of my us vs. them buttons, mostly because it resembled my existing view. Maybe if I remembered who Leon Kass was, I'd have been offended.
