In other words, you admit to being condescending.

If that were the case, the correct response would be to maintain your own
integrity wouldn't it?

The ends justify the means then.  But if we all acted that way, and one single

Actually, this thread degenerated into drivel long ago.  I do have one

Quite frankly, I think you are trying to invent a cure for a disease that
doesn't exist.

The sad part is, you contracted the disease, and then the cure didn't work.
