My dude I have no interest in “besting” you, but I have every interest in advocating for people like us.

It’s a shame you deleted your comment because yours + mine was actually a solid lesson for people who have that kind of mindset. I too OFTEN have that mindset and would prefer to rant in a hyperbolic way about how terrible it is so I ought not even try.

If my comments here are causing you to react this way maybe your Sunday morning would be better served not on the internet.
