Could you elucidate what you intend with this gem?
"The Master of the Way treats people as straw dogs."
It's from the Tao Te Ching:
"Heaven and earth are ruthless, and treat the myriad creatures as straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, and treats the people as straw dogs."
One might accuse this of falling afoul of the appeal to nature, but that would assume a fact not in evidence, to wit, that Annoyance's motivations resemble that of a typical LW poster (to the extent that such a beast exists).
