So if a postie delivers letters to an arms manufacturer, s/he must be
accountable for the consequences (delivered orders, cheques, etc) of
this action? I would describe such an attitude as moralism of the worst
order.
But, as it happens, Ford's post did not mention anything that Freeman
has done as part of his work as an economist. Ford merely indulged in
innuendo, probably motivated (as you yourself admit) by
sectarianism.
And, anyway, I'm not sure how this line of argument - even if Ford had
written on the lines you claim he did - would tell us more about
whether Freeman is a pluralist in his economics or not. This, you may
recall, was my original complaint, and I notice you still do not
address this,
