  • I don't care what your position is, I just don't buy your reasons for showing that video.

    I don't want to keep coming back on here and explaining myself. There is no mystery to my position: I just don't think there's any need to show people that sort of footage, because I consider it both intrusive and voyeuristic. Moreover, people are quire capable of comprehending the horror of it without seeing it.

    Can we just leave it at that - agree to disagree?

  • Absolutely. You could say that you'd expect me to have the viewpoint that I do because of where I work and I'm therefore biased, to a degree you'd probably be right. It is a complicated and nuanced subject and it's not like showing a video of someone being killed is a good thing which makes me happy: I see it as the lesser of two evils because I view censorship - even self-censorship - as a slippery slope.
