You've at least stopped speaking for everyone else in the thread, but you've simply arrived at the same point these threads tend to reach, where you stop addressing arguments and fall back to simply impugning other's intelligence and motives.

I never spoke for anyone else in this thread. In your dichotomy of "us vs them", I am neither. You need a finer brush.

I made no comments about yours or anyone's intelligence. Again, you need a finer brush to paint other people's opinions. If I felt you weren't intelligent enough, I wouldn't have attempted to talk to you. But your responses to me are giving me reasons to rethink the (f)utility of this attempt.
> ... and motives.
Nor did I make any comments about your motives; only your conduct. I have neither condoned nor denounced your motives. I only pointed out that you attacked your parent. You justified the attack by claiming that you had many people on your side.
This is HN, not a schoolyard. Having many people on your side does not give you the right to attack participants in this forum.
If you still do not understand this, know this: it only makes your point harder to agree with. The harder you are to talk to, the harder you will find people to talk with. I'd hoped you were intelligent enough to see your conduct was not helping you argue your case. I have no such hopes now. Goodbye.
It's clear to us all that you're not here in good faith.
