How is that related to whether or not you represent a forum?

Because you start with me being disdainful and then switch to the issue of the forum being disdainful.

The pursuit of good, humanity getting along together as a cohesive whole and being happy, etc

That's pretty meaningless handwaving. Among other things, humanity has never been and does not look likely to become in the foreseeable future "a cohesive whole". This is a good thing.

Why does that matter? You don't have to hold someone in high regard to care about them.

Because we are talking about "being disdainful" and "making fun of". That's not a discussion about caring, that's a discussion about holding in high regard or not.

It doesn't make sense to hold the general population in "high regard"

I am glad we agree :-P
