you are involved because you consciously chose to involve yourself. Op
didn't ask you to solve his problem - only for opinion. With your logic,
any action is justified. It's somewhat arrogant.

We all have better things to do than listen to swearing addicted
toddlers.

I imagine one of the problems that cuts across all cultures is the need
for some to try to create the rules that govern what really comes down
to moral behavior and they point to their impression that their social
experience is eroded by those that won't follow their rules - I tend to
refer to this as trying to legislate morality. This too is arrogance.

Whether arrogance is wrongful behavior is probably arguable. Obviously
we aren't going to resolve these issues on this list - but at least, I
am satisfied that you contemplated my view of your action and we can
agree to disagree.
