Premise 1: That which is harmful is immoral
Premise 2: Jack accidentally tripped Jill causing her harm.
Conclusion: Jack behaved immorally.

I;m honestly offended that you doubted my ability in this regard. You might think all sorts of wierd shit about me.....but who doubts my ability to game?
Are we having a discussion regarding moral harm, moral agency, and moral desert, or just fucking around with words? You tell me. I can roll either way....but I'm -objectively- better at fucking around with words than you are....so....
-pick your fights?
