Look at you, ascribing emotions to me! That's adorable!
Hatred? Bitterness? Nah, man. I don't really have the mental energy to spare in my day to day to spin up emotions that virulent. Dislike? Sure! Mockery? Why not! But maybe next time you could ask me the way I feel, rather than just assuming you know.
Not that I think you were assuming anything. No, I think you're following a script, here; you're preaching, not thinking. It's like assuming, just over the entirety of... everything.

Except you don't really know what I do, do you?
I would submit to you that sitting here and deconstructing arguments is much kinder than, as the example we're using, interrupting people in their grieving at a funeral, wouldn't you? No matter the level of sass, I'm trying to present an argument and possibly change minds, and unlike picketers, I'm not having to sacrifice anyone else's feelings to do so.
I know you're on the binary equivocation train, where there's only two modes and no shades of gray, but could you at least attempt to see some contextual nuance, if you can take a break from your didactic rigidity?
