    …Im just trying to make the only difference I can make. [emphasis added]

    Bullshit. Do you drive a car? You can definitely change that!

      Sadly the 70 miles I need to walk every day would be an issue. I can’t afford a home closer to work either but I can move to a plant based diet.

        Jesus tap-dancing Christ, 70 miles?! That’s egregious even for a car commute! Even without doing the math, I’m pretty sure that your environmental savings from not eating meat is a rounding error compared to that kind of clown car habit.

        If you can’t find a home closer to work, you need to find a new job closer to home. Something’s got to give, if not for the planet then at least for your own sake!

          If you want to give me the $500,000 I need to get a house closer to my work I’d take it.

          If not you are doing the punching down everyone is talking about.

            Why are you defaming me? If you’d read the article I linked, you’d understand that I’m trying to help you.

              Im not defaming you. Im calling out your behavior. You can’t act rude and not expect pushback. You aren’t helping anyone with your attitude.

                Dismissing the validity of an argument because you don’t like its tone is a fallacy.

                  And we aren’t engaging in a rhetorical debate here so attempting to highlight non existent flaws isn’t helping you here.

                  You acted like an asshole and are being called out for it. There’s no way for you to be “right” in this situation after you chose to act inappropriately.
