A person’s obligation to oneself is their own personal business. Not yours. Mind your own goddamned business and stop being a holier-than-thou busybody.

seriously, go the fuck away.

I’m think I’m going to close this thread down now. Main reason being, you don’t really seem to be interested in actually discussing things, answering questions or clarifying any of your positions, **Waymore**. You’ve had numerous questions directed at you many times, and most of your answers have either been vague, short, or telling the person to refer to an earlier post in the thread.

At this point, after many days of this topic going on, it’s mostly dissolved into a “People ask you something and you just tell them that they should be doing it” over and over.

If you have a real point and ever want to seriously argue what that point is, feel free to remake the thread.  
If your thread is only going to be filled with “See post 8 supra” again and again, it might get closed again.  
Lastly…

This is not the Pit, so take posts like this one there and don’t make them in this forum again.

No warning issued, just a note.
