You could have done the same thing by not replying to my original post (which certainly was not directed at you as this comment of yours was directed at me). Since you haven't chosen to ignore me, I see no reason to ignore you, and I furthermore find your attempt to take what you seem to perceive as some kind of moral high ground laughably childish, as is the tone of most of your comments throughout this thread. I would have a great deal more respect for you at this point if you showed any willingness to listen to anything I say, but instead you only seem to want to lecture me.
In response to the rest of your comment, I refer you once more to my original post, at the end of which I state that the views of people like this have in fact collided with my own in very real ways in the past. To elaborate further, those have been some of the most painful and humiliating experiences of my life, and if I stand any chance of being able to keep someone else from inflicting that kind of unhappiness on others, I consider myself well justified in trying.
Are you ready to offer any more arguments based on selective hearing of the things I've said? Why not just ignore the entire post while you're at it?
