Mocking is a rather primitive way to argue--not ennobling, nor generally constructive, to say the least. Not to mention it is difficult to reconcile with respect for the person.
Having said that, it seems no good deed goes unpunished. I was informed by Hidari in a private message that he is not so young, and that I am to cut out the fatherly advice.
Some people are their own worst enemy.
