I get where you are coming from, but couldn't you have toned the harshness down a bit? We already have social platforms like Facebook that are a sewer of negativity. Why not just use those as an outlet for rude behavior, and keep things positive and supportive here on the blockchain?

Why on earth would you go easy on such an ignorant question? Maybe consider how offensive this question is to many people out there.

Because I understand that not everyone has the same beliefs and values as me. Because of this understanding I choose to speak to a person in a way that maintains respect for them as a person, so I can have a better chance of helping them to understand a broader perspective.

Being rude on the internet doesn't add any value. In fact quite the opposite.
