In reply to the discussion: Expletive-laden OP's get lots of recs but are not productive [View all]Nuclear Unicorn
(19,497 posts)27. I know what the OP wrote. I also know what I wrote and it has nothing to do with
"our cause" only our selves. Again, that's not scolding or condemning or criticizing, it's an observation. If you choose to take what I wrote as something beyond that then that is a thing wholly of your own choosing and any distress caused to you is your own; but that too speaks to my observation that some people seem to choose being angry -- and that's not healthy. Happiness is healthy.
This OP is breaking the rules of DU to preach that others are flawed. It is an aggressive, territorial and amoral post.
Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

The citation wasn't about religion; it was about irony, and it still seems quite apt.
