I actually wanted to reply, but can't, so I'll thread here... > [ things lots of people do ] is disgusting, because [ my personal value system ]. I'm hoping by framing the quote this way it'll help demonstrate how statements like this promote a dualistic discussion. The way this was worded really says, "Fight me on this unpopular opinion! Also, I'm judging you if you disagree." Maybe a better wording that still retains its salience, without so much preachiness: > I am disgusted when I see [ things lots of people do ] happening, because [ my personal value system ]. This is communicating the same essential message (that you're disgusted by what you're seeing), but it leads the reader to not fight you, but ask, "I wonder why he feels so strongly about this?" There is a rich diversity of viewpoints on this site, and that's an asset for us. It allows us to discover WHY people think what they think.
