The right way to be and the wrong way to be

[Belacqua]

It's more like a moral duty. Inferior people deserve to get called out.

I understand that a lot of people feel this way. 

I suppose it depends on what kind of outcome we can realistically expect. If calling someone out actually has a chance of improving that person, of helping him to understand his failings, then maybe I can see it. As with dentistry, sometimes a little initial pain is required to prevent worse pain in the long run.

But I am skeptical that this is a common motivation. I think that sadism is way more common. And people find ways of justifying it to themselves. 

I also think that most assessments are poorly done. I'm extremely aware of my own inferiorities, but I never get called out for those things on this forum. (Nor do I advertise them.) When people pass judgment on me here, the judgments are generally silly, and the insults mean nothing.
