The way I parse it:
You get attacked enough, you become callous. That callousness leads to unintentional cruelty, as you're so insensitive to your own pain that you don't sense the pain of others. The trick here is not to become cruel.
However, ER's remarks were uncalled for. I politely pointed out to him the problems with his thinking, and they fundamentally relate to the way he(?) percieved the impact hazard. I probably should have reduced it down to that in my initial reply. That is what led to his outburst.
IN any case, his insults were uncalled for - lacking any moderation to move hisa insults to flame, where they can be handled, I simply reposted his comments here - the routine, and one which others have down pretty well, is then to yell -
I like the idea of not having a flame section. That way insults may be answered with insults in the mains. One man's flame is another man's heat.
