That's what a norm is. Normal. Something widely accepted by most people.
You are correct; my use of the word relied on equating norm with any moral principle; fortunately, a quick look in the dictionary cleared that up. Sorry for the blunder. Glad I learned something new
Quote:
If one holds that it is immoral to side with orcs
That was not my argument. I argued that if one believes that deligthing in evil deeds is immoral, then if siding with the orcs, or 'cheering them' as one debater has put it, means derriving pleasure from their deeds, then this is an immoral instance.

Strider looks foul
Hm, when is he described as such?
