I arrived to a thread in chaos. I don't take it to have been my foot forward.

Perhaps I could've better phrased it, "Given the emotional disregulation caused by the dissents, go read K's concurrence" -- however this is what I meant to say, still mean to say, and said.

I don't take the only legitimate aim of a comment to be "arguments" in this sense. One can comment on the psychology of the environment one finds oneself in without this being ad hom.



> Given the emotional disregulation

Exactly. Everybody else is emotionally disregulated and you simply have the serenity that comes when there is no daylight between your opinion and the objective truth of reality. It is important that people know how much better you are at feeling and thinking than them, otherwise what would be the value of just saying your thoughts on the topic at hand?
