7. An argument from stupidity.

And some audiences wonder why 'we' are always so grumpy when they talk to us. They don't even see it. It's invisible to them. Beyond their capacity to grasp how some utter bollocks like that could hurt or anger another person.

Like I haven't had the experience of comforting the dying. Like *i'm* the ignorant, vicious little shit in the conversation. Yup. It's me.

As you can imagine, the 'dying grandmother' argument doesn't have much pull with me. I don't lie to people. Not even to make them feel better.
