Trust me, I've been doing this longer than you. Or maybe I'm just smarter, but you'll understand one day.

Why be so condescending? Why assume things you have no way of knowing?

Told you it was a cop-out argument. I'm just telling you what my experience was when encountering this topic, and then my conclusion after revisiting it many times over the course of a dozen years or so.

You also made major condescending assumptions. Why?

Because I'm an asshole?

What do you want me to say? I have no illusions about the integrity of my rhetoric—it has none. It was a statement made without much thought based on my experience. It does not require or request your approval.

You are interacting with another human being. Not caring about the person on the other end of that is something you should question.

I do care, it's why I made the comment I did in earnest. The lack of a fully formed argument was simply because of my lack of time and typing on a phone. Point taken: I will try to be more kind even to strangers on the internet. You need to let this go.
