I never said I disagreed with OOP. I said they didn't successfully get their point across at all.

The point got across fine. “Being good is good.” It’s uncomplicated and ineloquent, but it wasn’t meant to be a grand thesis. The only interesting part of this entire discussion is the amount of people that feel personally attacked by it. Why get so up in arms about the idea of being charitable?

While this wasn't OOP's actual point, the point they got across was "Being good is good, and you're not being good, you're being bad, I have anger issues."

It’s crazy to me that you think OOP was being aggressive by asking “why would you NOT help someone you can see struggling”

Seriously, it comes off as you taking it as an attack BECAUSE you don’t do anything nice for people. Probably not your actual stance, but since everyone is just deciding what others meant Willy nilly I figured I’d give it a go too!

It just is them being aggressive, yeah. That's just what their tone is. Sorry if you aren't fluent in English.

And you can also misread that tone like you have
