Peter T, One of the problems with this medium is that we don't know who our readers are. Obviously the poster who offended you, didn't know that you spend your whole life trying to make this world a fit place to live in. He just assumed that no one cared and blamed everyone. That's why he got so much flack here, where people 'do' care. In the real world his comments (even though they were expressed somewhat childishly) could be construed as a necessary nudge to get people to wake up and take notice.
