A Sea Change

MB - the Marxist Revolutionary decided to rip apart other people's genuine sadness at their loss of a pet.

His first comment - 'Surely, it had to die sometime'

This was a rather brutal comment to make in the midst of their loss: 'Surely you knew that cats die?' NO shit. Sherlock. Later on MB was suggesting that people who were so emotionally effected by the death of a pet should be deprived of their basic democratic rights - 'It worries me that these people are able to vote' I responded by writing 'Yes, because people have feelings'
I was tempted to go on to point out that an absence of feeling is a symptom of sociopathy.

(Which is off because that's the insult he has a tendency to use indiscriminately.)

Projection?
Anyone?
