Secondly, and more importantly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with hurting someone’s feelings. Hurting peoples’ feelings is a natural part of life and rational discourse. Alternatively, if there is something wrong with hurting feelings, I hereby give notice that everyone that disagrees with me is hurting my feelings and should stop disagreeing.
