This was a thread hoping to address both of these issues with regard to the banning of an innocent poster over a misunderstanding on Dan's part.
Yours is an astonishing post.
1) it boasts a stark lack of fellow feeling; either for the person who is banned or whoever you meant to slander with your 'reveals personal information to score sympathy points'.
2) it shows a lack of self-awareness; you deride other people's feelings (whatever the hell you are on about) yet while also pushing your own feelings or mind states (I am 'deeply suspicious', I am 'baffled' etc) to the fore.
3) Do you believe you have mind-reading powers? How do you know anyone is looking for sympathy points - people post personal stuff to illustrate a point. And how do you know anyone is trying to seem 'nice'?
It's not even clear who or what you mean, just that the post I replied to was a narcissistic and unpleasant jumble.
