Think about this when you see someone here calling another a pedophile or rapist apologist or

OK so I read through a few of the top replies and gather that this is in reference to some specific recent event.

I'm not going to read through the whole thread, but I will comment on the concept in general.

I think there's not a day that goes by where someone doesn't come out of the woodwork to label someone else something very nasty. In most cases, based on very limited information, or maybe even statements/information that the finger-pointer has totally misinterpreted.

Even if there's not a lot of evidence that someone IS a racist/misogynist/pedophile/nasty act apologist, etc., for example, but has perhaps unintentionally written something dicey...there will be plenty of people jumping up and down, torches and pitchforks rattling, labeling the person a dyed-in-the-wool whatever.

Because it's so cool to be morally superior to other people. And how can we feel morally superior unless we hang labels on them based only on words on a computer screen instead of what's in a person's heart.

Which, BTW, we can never truly know.

But people hurl the labels around here anyway, not even having a clue that what they label others could very well be what they themselves are deep down inside.
