I was making a statement of my belief, which was opposed to your belief. And your aggressive response provides some evidence for mine being true. Thanks. I’ll have fun with it.

“Misanthropic rant” — “attention-seeking troll”. How easy it sometimes is to to demonstrate the hypocrisy of people who preach against “the ego”.

It is actually “ego transcending” philosophies that are “misanthropic”, such as that of Tolle and Buddhism — displaying a deep disparagement of basic elements of the nature of the vast majority of humans. Only something inhuman could resemble the soul that they exult.

As for attention seeking—I do indeed have a need for loving and respectful attention from other humans. From you specifically, though, I do not. Your disrespectful attention may not provide for my needs, but it does serve as some evidence for that argument you were looking for.
