I was criticizing the analogy, not the example you used in it. It was too extreme. And it wasn't helpful at all, IMO. We can't all stop being nice. We can't tell whether we'll be those few cases out of a hundred that screw something up despite their good intentions.

Mr. Understanding...

Oh, boy.

Well then you clearly missed the point of the analogy. I don't think anyone should stop being nice, I think people should start being smart. There are more important things in life than wanting to help people (especially people who haven't asked for help) and I would wager that thinking your actions through before doing them is one.

If someone's standing at the edge of a cliff be smart enough not to slap a mosquito off their back. It might have been nice if it wasn't so stupid.
