Bolding mine, obviously, and I think those two quotes speak for themselves. Moving on …

I certainly don’t think I’m your better. I’ve also been involuntarily committed twice, so I’d have to be a real hypocritical asswipe to shame someone for mental health problems. So my beef with you has nothing to do with those things, clear? It has to do with the fact that you appear to think that **you are better than us.** As **xenophon41** wisely pointed out, you don’t lecture peers, you lecture underlings. Stop treating everyone on this board as a lesser to you and accept that you do not have the standing to preach at us and give us fucking lectures, and I’ll wager you’ll get a lot less people telling you to shut up.
