if i walk by a pile of shit in my neighborhood and make a comment on it, i'm not the same as the person that took/excreted the shit in my neighborhood.

  No, but the issue is assuming anyone wants to hear what you think about it. The pile of shit in the authors life are people who claim to be too busy. He's just saying he doesn't like it. So you're the same.

    > to hear what you think about it my comment had two sentences, both ending with question marks. did you know that sentences that end in question marks aren't statements (of fact or opinion)?

      Do you intend to give the air of smug self importance? It's tacky. I would expect someone so clearly intelligent to know a rhetorical question when they use it.

It's tacky. there's a very weird, counterintuitive, psychological phenomenon on display here. somehow, in your opinion, the article itself doesn't cross the threshold into "smug self-importance" even though there's a strong call to action/categorical imperative (espoused/propounded) in the article. on the otherhand, me suggesting that that's the case, is smug self-importance. there's a word (maybe several) for this phenomenon: hypocrisy.

          Thatsthepoint.jpg ... Try to be less condescending. It serves no purpose other than broadcasting ignorance. Have a good one.
