So what I can realistically expect from him just isn't the same as I could expect from an average person. That doesn't mean I endorse or excuse anything he does or says. Just that I hold him less accountable than I would someone who does have empathy. I still fully discourage anyone else from following his example, in any capacity. But part of my own subjective morality, when applied to others, is to do with accountability and capability.
It hardly matters we're getting off topic since this was, if anything, a cry for help post if not just an attempt to annoy people. Maybe this discussion will help him learn something about himself, and give him a new perspective.
