That's not how this went down.

HODL was the aggressor firing shots at people who aren't married and don't have children.

His statements are willfully ignorant of the unique conditions that each individual on this earth is challenged by in their lives.

Some people literally cannot have children. Others have been traumatized by life experiences and have no desire to go down that path.

HODL is trying to validate his own life choices, which is fine, but he's doing so in an absolutist kind of way that throws shade on a lot of people who don't deserve to be treated that way. That makes HODL an asshole.

lol you’re such a pussy

I'm going to send some wounded veterans who cannot have children as a result of their wounds to every conference you attend.

Deal with that, pussy.

I would ask what has you so triggered but I honestly don’t care.

You're abusing your reach to push generalities as absolutes.

Communicate more precisely.

He’s easily triggered, but your doubling down on not recognizing exceptions seems to indicate you are in good company.

It indicates he's a callous ass.

It indicates that I understand the Golden Rule.

Do you think it may be a bit of first person syndrome? It's easy to get when you gain in popularity. It's like the force that acts against the golden rule because the popularity is encumbering. It clouds the mind and you can't see past your own perspective because of the incentives involved.

I think I get the concept you're putting forth with the phrase "first person syndrome".

I'm thinking that means something like "main character syndrome" where the person sees themselves as the protagonist of their own life, often to the detriment of others. They have a lack of empathy, attention-seeking tendencies, self-centered behavior, and often view others as supporting cast members in their personal "movie". Key signs include an inflated sense of self, a constant need for attention, and an inability to see situations from other people's perspectives.

There's a hedonic treadmill component at play compelling him to seek validation.

He has a hole in his life and he feels like he shouldn't because of how successful he's been. I wouldn't be shocked to discover that he's an alcoholic.

Just logged in during my lunch hour and lol-

That escalated in my absence 😂

It escalated when HODL decided to double down on one-size-fits-all, half-baked rhetoric instead of receiving criticism gracefully and acting with humility.

Gotta say I’m with Hodl on this one. You’re the only one doing any threatening in this thread

This wasn't the original thread.

Go back to the beginning...to the root.
