Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr has received more than 7,000 emails about a Wyoming man who reportedly captured and tormented a wolf before killing it, he told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday.

Some of those are threats.

Lehr said people in his office, as well as Sublette County and Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel, have been receiving threats — including death threats — stemming from Daniel, Wyoming, man Cody Roberts’ reported capture, torment and killing of a wild wolf in late February.

    They would fall into the “mental illness” category above. There’s a reason I used quotes on one lol. I honestly doubt anyone who doesn’t suffer from an actual mental illness believes the world is flat. It’s such a complete departure from any of the things we consistently observe.

    If they do truly believe it, then that’s on them. I would not be able to argue with them in any kind of reasonable capacity because I myself wouldn’t be able to believe they believe what they do. And simultaneously, it wouldn’t matter. They’re free to believe it, that belief isn’t harming anything, and I’ll just keep shooting down their bad points time and again, not for my benefit or theirs, but for anyone who may be looking on, trying to form their own world view.

      That’s an easy dig, but in reality there are a lot of people who believe irrational things are objectively true (God, flat earth, moon landing being staged, etc.). Not all these people have mental disorders.

      I feel like your answer is more of a deflection than an honest answer. The point I was making was that you do believe somethings are objectively true, and that some people are actually objectively wrong.

      Which is contradictory to your statement “I don’t think that you CAN arrive at a concrete truth”. As far as I can tell, you do believe in objective truth.

        Don’t tell me what I do and don’t believe. We’re seeing a clear difference between your thought process and mine. I’m willing to have the humility to admit I cannot know what someone else actually believes, and you’re over here claiming to know that it’s somehow a deflection.

        Let me state this in no unclear terms. I believe in objective truths where there are objective proofs. I do not believe in objective truths when there exists subjectivity, or at least relativity. I believe, personally, that morality is both subjective and relative, therefore when it comes to matters of morality, I do not believe in absolute truths.

          I’m just going to ignore the pissing part of your comment because for like the fourth time you misunderstood what I was saying, but I can’t really be bothered to correct you repeatedly on simple reading comprehension problems you have. Feel free to read the comments back if you want.

          As for the latter part you’ve literally never addressed any part of my major thesis here, about the basis for descriptive and normative truths. Are you an epistemological nihilist? Do you understand the purpose of axioms in forming coherent worldviews? How and why do you differentiate between descriptive and normative axioms? Because one makes you feel better?
