devil-worship 

devil-worship

immoral and/or amoral behavior
son: is using animals in medical research in medical lab settings considered devil-worship, according to the Unforgiveables?

father: to most of the civilian population and to the Unforgivables no. the Unforgivables don't care because they are there to protect business and private property, and medical research facilities are owned and operated by big pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer. to the people who are passionately obsessed with animal rights, yes.If you want to know more, go take a medical ethics course at McGill University.

gunnysacking 

1- bringing into a given conflict situation issues that are irrelevant to said conflict

2- not be forgiving of past grievances that are irrelevant in the current conflict
IMHO gunnysacking is the worst possible method of conflict resolution and can make an argument less controllable than it needs to be, with often undesirable subsequent consequences
