I already stated that.

You obviously have very little or no respect for moon goddess, seeing as you can't even think of having her as a friend being any kind of advantage.
Correct.

Quote:
That is true, you may believe what you wish. Perhaps you could explain how you feel people should behave? Surely you don't see selfishness as a good thing?
'Good' is only meaningful when criteria are involved. If your criteria for a good life involve happiness, wealth etc then selfishness is a good thing. What set of criteria define it as a bad thing?

Becouse it's better to end the argument when things get too high strung then let it continue.
Indeed, but here you have only exalted the worth of the latter without comparing it to the former.

Quote:
Surely you realize nothing good would come of an argument in which either party begins to show signs of retaliation out of pure anger.
Irrelevant, simply because this was not likely to turn into an argument.

Quote:
If you didn't feel you were worth something, perhaps more than others, you wouldn't feel the need to defend yourself so strongly.
Arrogance is the undue confidence in ones abilities. Believing myself to be superior to Moon Goddess is not arrogance. In any case, a large ego is not a prerequisite for defending oneself. Any ego at all will do the trick.
