Once again, wow. But this time because of how cruel people were to him in that thread... and I even feel sorry to an extent for the people who were being mean to him. People are so cruel to themselves and others it's sad. A person can't respect oneself if he / she does not respects others, and he / she can't respect other's if you he /she has no self respect. I don't understand how anyone else doesn't notice it, and if they do, I don't understand how they live with themselves. Must be a pretty miserable existence. And some posters there, I won't mention who... I honestly had much higher expectations from some of you; I hope you (generic you here) find inner peace one day and stop debasing yourselves in the process of debasing others. Seriously, that is the most depressing thread I have ever seen on TA. It's interactions of this nature, granted this is an extreme case, that makes me come here less and less. Assuming I stop all together, I wish all of you the best. Take care of yourselves and each other.

Rubbish. There's far worse and more depressing threads everywhere.
Cruel? He brought it upon himself. I tried for 21 pages to be nice to him and actually get him to respond properly yet he never did. Don't play a saint and condemn others because you're on the outside looking in.
Trancer-x is a "victim" because of himself, not because of others.

I'm no saint and I don't pretend to be, and certainly don't recall saying any such thing. I was commenting on the interaction as a whole, not just people giving him a hard time. Peace.

Sorry, but that's the way I interpreted your post. Apologies if that's not what you meant, but you appear very critical of everyone from your reply and I don't think that's fair.

No biggie . If it's of any consolation, I'm also fairly critical of myself too, but it's generally limited to my internal dialog; that would just sound weird if I was bitching about myself out aloud on an internet forum now wouldn't it ?

We've been hating and killing each other since before history. Learn to deal with it. It isn't changing anytime soon.
