    There’s a difference between being overweight and being this insolent. It’s like being told smoking is bad, so they smoke 3 cigarettes at the same time.

          You know, looking left and right, nobody can keep their hands to themselves. We all want to conform to what’s right - but there is no objective right or wrong. It’s a function of a social animal trying to align with the group. Criticism, reactionary violence, shunning, are all natural aspects of primate social interaction - it’s part of learning, growing up, and getting along. It’s not a moral failure - no moral position has grounding beyond the neurology and evolutionary psychology of the apes we are. I’ll probably never talk to you again. I don’t care if you change. Defending these people is clearly self-defense by proxy - marginalization has always been my reality. I am no better than you, and my opinions are no more valid. But, I do see that you’re missing steps in your reasoning. You don’t need change direction. I do think you need to flesh it out more.
