I think you misunderstand the nature of my idea of helping people or choosing to disengage with someone. Illustrative examples; When dealing with a drug addict, I will not attempt to capitalise on who they are as a person by selling them mo

That is expressly why I made this account, to avoid suggestions that this might be my motivation. I have nothing to gain here from grandstanding, nobody knows who I am and I neither gain nor lose karma from the exchange, it's simply an atte

His opinion as expressed alone here is not the basis of my comment, it irritated me as I believed it was oversimplifying and snarky, but any time I think such a thing I very carefully examine the content of what provokes it, so I read his b

This is exactly what I'm referring to, I simply don't connect with what you're trying to illustrate. I understand you're trying to draw a scenario that has some supposedly appealing emotional quality to it, but I'd just be thinking I'd rath
