I don't personally partake in either activity so I view your activity as much more harmful than you do and "Chester's" activity as much less harmful than you do (but probably more harmful than he does).

I just view them as roughly equally bad so it seems hypocritical of you, to me, to get so riled at someone else's illegal activity while you defend your own. - Ken |
