I appreciate the fact that you're taking the time and effort to provide me with your constructive criticism. Now that you have provided me with your insights, I realize that my cognition is in fact garbage. I now realize that you are the authority of absolute truth. You have earned the entitlement to unconditionally dictate to me what I am required to believe, how I must reason, and what opinions I must hold. If I fail to meet your high standards, then I am not worth the time and effort you have taken to instill me with your superior moral authority. If you deem me to be overly emotional, I haven't the right to disagree. I apologize for my lack of maturity. Your ability to judge what kind of person I am is astonishing.

What do you believe you have accomplished by spewing your vitriol all over the place in a public forum? Because you cannot manage your pent-up frustrations, does this give you the right to insult and condemn others? Are you demonstrating what it is to be mature? No. Does your emotionally charged rant set a good example of how to manage your emotions properly? No. Is cowering behind your keyboard while throwing a petulant fit demonstrate the ability to understand viewpoints that don't align with your own? No.

So, what have you achieved here? If your intention was to decimate any respect I ever had for you, then congratulations. You have succeeded. I find it disappointing. Up until now, I actually believed you had some good character.
