Why are you so invested in the notion of outrage being a real social issue? What are you trying to attack? Where have you seen it in relation to this thread, where you bought the issue up?

I'm asking the question here, so answer for once.

I made a simple statement and example using outrage, directly related to the labeling. I have no investment or bone to pick in shoving it down anybody's throat, and I'll even freely for the sake of argument consider it my own personal anecdotal observation if your insistence of its reach is so important to you.

Yet you're down my throat trying to get me to say something expounding on it, which you're not revealing (which is starting to look quite childish, I might add).

Now, answer why this is such a hot topic for you. You're the motive force in perpetuating it, by constantly demanding explanations of me for literally hours on end, and accepting no answer no matter how much I try to offer you what you seek, and attempt to meet your hidden predicates. That's simply not productive, and certainly not conducive to you getting the answer you want, until you start revealing more.

Like I said before, no evidence you've provided for your broad claims about society has been convincing. You made the claim, I asked about it. You've continued to be invested in the idea for some reason.

Yes, that's my reason. Exploration of pedantry, curiosity, entertainment, and digging into important topics. You, however, have revealed no explanation for your continued involvement and insistence on trying to extract something from me.

Each of my reasons are significantly waning without your engagement in discourse, so you do have limited opportunity to complete your quest.

Then why do you keep asking for evidence? I threw out a perspective, with sensible (to me) backing social arguments (given that it's a social topic in nature), now rehashed in many different ways.

Do you carry on in multi-hour interrogations with every single poster on hacker news that you have some unspoken disagreement with? What is different about this content that warrants this behavior from you?

Surely you don't want all this seemingly very purposeful investment of your time just going to waste without resolution.

Good night. I expect to see a continuation tomorrow! :-)
