    So it’s okay for you to judge me, but not for me to judge you?

    Absolutely, because I’m crystal clear about my motivation and feelings I harbor for the likes of you. I don’t pretend to be anything else than I am and I don’t hide behind any faked concerns, empathy and such. The nihilistic kind like yourself, who dwell in your misery and spread it onto others should be prevented from interacting with the healthy society as much as possible, especially online.

      I’ve found that those who harbor concerns like mine are some of the most empathetic, kind and loving people I’ve met. It’s because we love the world so much that we are in pain and miserable. I don’t pretend to care. I do. But you’re so self righteous that you can’t see that. Jesus hung out with the lepers, the poor, the miserable. Be like Jesus.

      I’m not part of this discussion. Is it okay for me to judge you as an impartial third party?

            I have low tolerance for manipulative types and have nothing but scorn for them.

              And yet you’re the one coming across badly here, not the several people you’ve been rude to. I don’t see why anyone would be convinced by the things you are saying when you’re saying them so rudely.

                Convinced?

                What are you taking me for, my good dude? A teacher who got paid to straighten up some kids? A crusader who descends into caves to bring the light to creatures of the dark? Seriously…

                  No, just a person who is rudely trying to get points across and not doing well because of the rudeness.

                    Once the manipulations appear, there’s no point in being polite. It’s, once again “pearls before swines”.

                    I know, I know, “why can’t we all be friends” and all that, but the harsh truth is that if you see an online discussant being manipulative, then whatever effort you’re going to make, to keep it civil, is a waste.
