Who are you helping? (Only people on this forum are reading your

If I get one person to reconsider to continue to enable fat lazy fools,
then I feel I have helped.

Life's all about helping others. Even if they are fools. Is the
world better off when fools suffer than when fools don't suffer?

And these aren't forums, but newsgroups.

Newsgroups aren't types of forums?

How are you helping them? (By persuading us that software shouldn't
be safer - because the victims deserve what they get?)

Where did I say anything about software shouldn't be safer? Quote me.

If people deserve to be punished for being foolish, then the
implication is that we shouldn't work to prevent them from their just
consequences.

You can't make people smarter, all you can do is mitigate the
consequences of their foolishness.

Again, I'd imagine that there's no reasoning with little Kurt.

Apparently, he's the the type of person that thinks calling a
fat person "fat" is a good motivator for weight loss.

Anything else would be coddling.

Take care!
