A postscript to "what happened to me"

[Bucky Ball]

See, here I think you're arguing against a moral view that is pretty much dominant in the US these days. It's the "I'm a macho man fuck you" moral system. 

It says that once you are out of the charmed circle of people we approve of, we have no duty to be empathetic or kind. It's completely obvious among Trump supporters, who think the concentration camps are justified. It's also common among liberals, who think that anybody who voted for Trump must be a racist and lost cause, undeserving of our sympathy. People will even justify it as some kind of tough love, thinking that the person they don't approve of should be beaten until morale improves.

Recently a guy who posted on the old [S]inking Atheist forum died. His friends are eulogizing him as kind and generous. And to them, he was. He also spent a lot of time on that forum bullying people and typing the most hurtful things he could think of. But his friends agreed that the recipients of his cruelty deserved it, so they think it was a good thing to do. 

In other words, a person can devote lots and lots of time to cruelty, and still be considered a kind and generous person.

Since you obviously didn't know him AT ALL, (you obviously must have been the object of his ire, which was VERY RARE), and in fact he was always a source of moderation and reason, (he was also very learned not only in religion ... his one long-time wife is a Catholic), but science and philosophy. He supervised a large government (computer) coding operation. He was very intelligent. He spent NO TIME "bullying" anyone, and in fact worked to see that people others didn't accept, were given a chance. He was one of THE most beloved members of that forum, and NO ONE, (except you ... were you banned there ??) ever criticized him. 
Shame on you.

Edit :
TTA didn't "die". It was closed and reopened (where YOU posted) after the first sponsor decided he was moving on.
BTW, can you define what a "conservative" actually is ?
