Woah, that's a classic logical fallacy you got there, buddy. I can't be upset about A because B is related and also bad. One of the greatest of all time ways to derail an argument.

Shouldn't you be more concerned about starving children or something than my post?

See how productive of a conversation we are having when we both use these fallacies?

You're welcome to care about as many things as you desire, at the same time, friend. It's a question of perspective and relative importance. The reply didn't comment about A and B and C, only A - implying A was the most important thing to consider and discuss.
