I don't interpret godfrey's argument as a call to kill oneself, but, it is the pointing out of the hypocrisy of accusing someone of causing suffering when one is also causing suffering, as well. It is the pointing out of a double standard.

That's a good counterpoint. Antinatalists create less suffering than natalists, in general. But all of us live at the expense of others. Therefore, we all share in the guilt of causing suffering. Measuring who is less or more guilty becomes problematic.

Basically, it comes down to this morally superior, 'holier-than-thou' attitude which many find distasteful.
