I found the above comment to be mostly incoherent, so I'll reply to the meaningful parts.

I have not at any point participated in the discussion "who is worth helping".

Infotropism made a comment that essentially said people are more likely to help "cute puppies" than "dirty hobos" due to buggy hardware. You replied that your dog's senses are probably sharper than a hobo's, and that the hobo chose his or her condition. I deem that "participation", even if you didn't understand what was being discussed or implied.

My answer to that is too radical for your ears.

How very condescending. Spare me your posturing.

why you think you have the right to deconstruct or correct another's expression

I think I have that right because I do have that right.
