Moral Assessment on the Fly

I have asserted that we need to be very careful about the way that we assign blame to others.  If we assign blame to those who don't deserve it, then we have harmed an innocent human beings.  However, if we fail to assign blame when we should, then we might be failing to provide protection for other innocent human beings.  This might put pressure on people to make these type of decisions hastily.

Of course, since I do not recognize an obligation to help others, then this would be one way of handling the issue.  You don't have to blame others even when it is justified.  Justification only extends to the permissibility of blame.  However, in order to blame someone for inappropriate blame, you would need to be sure that the blame was, in fact, inappropriate.

However, I'm afraid that this system might prove too complicated for people to understand and implement on the fly.  What steps can people take to avoid or deal with error?  The same steps that you would take with any other type of offense.  You should apologize for any errors that you make.

One additional point is that if you hear someone blame someone for something that you don't regard as an offense, then rather than assuming that they have no good reason to assign blame, you should ask them to supply a reason.  You might humbly inform them that you are unable to see any valid reason and would like to know if any exist.
