> Sometimes it's better to get it out in the air so someone can reach out and provide a counter example?
HN is intended for "curious discussion". The person I responded to was not providing that.
> You don't chastise a misanthrope. That makes it worse.
I wasn't intending to make it better. It's not my responsibility to fix someone who thinks all humans deserve to die for offending nature. It's their responsibility, which probably requires help from a therapist, not an anonymous internet commenter.
> I implore both of you to reexamine life as a non-traditional family builder.
Who said I'm either traditional or a family builder?
I'm neither, but I was born with relatives, and those relatives are having children. So are my friends and many of the people around me.
