 For some, ‘standing’ is a term that indicates any condition about the blamer that is relevant to appropriate blame. In this broad sense, the notion of standing serves as a way to mark a contrast with facts about the blamed person, such as whether the blamed person is blameworthy. To invoke Friedman’s terminology again: the notion of standing is sometimes applied broadly to anything that pertains to whether a blamer is blamerworthy. But other theorists use the term in a narrower way.
