willfully: check; suffering: check (the shaming); no concern: check.

- _audakel 10y agoI think this is sum of the parts different than the whole. I was just pointing out that cruel has a very negative connotation ie - inhuman, barbaric, sadistic, evil, abominable etc. Applying it in the previous use case seemed excessive and implied a more radical tone than I believe the author (as he mentioned) wanted.
