You're basically arguing that we should proactively stop caring about helping people when they ask for it.
Maybe I'm not understanding what your point is, but it isn't holding together very well. You could just say "I don't care about this" instead of trying to justify your apathy. OR, you could just not read the thread.
I understood it as a means to stop potential arguments from arising. Arguing for the sake of arguing is counter-productive. However, I do not feel that assessment is accurate for this thread in particular. I do not feel this thread has degraded into petty arguments and insults and general shit talking so I personally don't see the harm in letting it continue.
I would think that the mods/admins of this board would lock this thread if it was anything other than a productive discussion. At least, that is my feeling when I glance at the rules.
