Are you saying that I am morally grandstanding myself? Maybe so, but I'm not claiming to be "repulsed" nor claiming that people are acting "immoral and insane"

Are you saying that I am morally grandstanding myself? Maybe so, but I'm not claiming to be "repulsed" nor claiming that people are acting "immoral and insane", as others in this conversation are. I have made an attempt to express my feelings using mild language.
If your point is that I shouldn't engage with people who make me weary, maybe your right, and maybe I shouldn't bother responding to you either. On the other hand, perhaps responding calmly might move the needle of the conversation back towards the civil, if only slightly.
