[an orange character is driving a bulldozer, facing a house]
I am going to bulldoze your house
[a yellow character is shocked]
[yellow asks politely, hands clasped]
Could you please not do that?
[orange, pushing the bulldozer’s controls, answers]
NO!
[yellow walks away from their house, looking dismayed]
Well, I guess I tried to do everything I could
Too bad
[orange smiles smugly as they bulldoze yellow’s house]

This is pointlessly hypothetical but does get across what I am trying to point out - if you magically were never involved in this thread, it was a stranger who had written what you have - and you came along and read what had been written by everyone.
I strongly believe you would disagree with the way you’ve behaved here, if you were a stranger stumbling onto someone else doing this exact thing. You’re not making the sense that you think you are.
I wish you well, all done for me.
I would agree with them. We’d hold the same belief.
You want to believe I’d disagree because you disagree.
That’s the difference between us. I don’t need someone to agree with me to be allied in a shared cause, I just won’t tolerate cutting down others because their efforts, whatever they may be, are deemed not enough. It’s akin to purity testing and it does no one any good.
