Richard, I believe it may have been Clayton's intention to demonstrate that
the principles you espouse are inconsistent.  In order to do this, it is
necessary for him to ask for an explicit statement of your moral
philosophy, i.e., perhaps his question was indeed a question and not
merely a criticism.  I think that this discussion could get interesting.
