… I generally give people a pass the first time they’re foolish, rude, and insulting.
… Because I recognize that you’re just saying such things because you’re frustrated that other people disagree with you – and so you’re shaming them like a woman does, for the same reason: because you lack the ability to put forth an honest, informed, and reciprocal argument that has some chance of persuading them to agree with you.
… But then, you are sufficiently disagreeable, desperate for dominance expression to compensate for your broader failure in life, that you don’t consider you’re just wrong.
… This behavior is nearly universal in the past two incompetent generations, where overconfidence ignorance and competence force them into expressing themselves in desperation.
… So I can use this explanation ten times a day – because you’re so common – like leaves on the ground in the Fall.
… And just block people if they don’t behave in intellectually honest civil form the next time.
