Seriously though. The whole tough love thing—bad cop, worse cop, or whatever—gets a bit grating after the dogpile.

This thread is a part of a larger picture. You can't look at (my) reactions to this thread without the context of her other threads. It is clear from the mere existence of this thread that previous threads were completely ignored. Hence, the frustration.
It's like a crack addict who wonders what's wrong with their life (Pssst. It's the crack.) "No, no, no, I need you to help me keep my job." "Fine, get off crack." "No, no, no, I can't keep a job because I don't have a car." "...because you use your money on crack rather than a car." "No, no, no, it's because I don't have a license." "...because you have a DWI from CRACK!" "Why won't you just help me keep my job! Geez, you are SO MEAN!"
Yeah, it's our shortcoming for not having the patience of patronizing the crack addict. Sheesh, bg.
