> I am somewhat surprised a single quote can render someone a terrible person You should be surprised. It can't. The important extraction from that premise, is that the opinions of essentially all people on such a subject are worthless, unless you happen to specifically know the person and value their opinion accordingly. One of the mass delusions that is very popular today - and particularly destructive - is to treat everyone's opinions on all things as having some great value and their feelings as being the most important thing to consider. We live in hyper irrational times. > All of us are just one quote away from having our entire lives reduced to "good" or "bad"! Reduced by whom? Who cares. That's the correct response to such a reduction by opinions of people that do not matter to you. A stranger on the Internets said my life is bad. Comeon. Who cares. It's meaningless garbage and a waste of precious time to consider such things.
