Today, I saw another moron causing trouble in the review section. I just couldn't take it anymore! Another one who thought reading pirated copies was justified. He thought that when people reading pirated copies insulted me, it merely meant their tone was a little harsh; when I talked back, that meant I had no manners!
Even if I took ten thousand steps back and called it "a somewhat harsh tone," so what? I never took your money—was I obligated to listen to your "somewhat harsh" words? Was I supposed to bow my head and obey like a good little dog?
To those who think my words are harsh, I only want to say this: learn to speak like a human being yourselves. So long as someone spoke properly, whether they were offering criticism or complaining, whether they read legitimate copies or pirated ones, had I ever once spoken harshly to them?
Everyone who made me angry was someone who couldn't speak like a human being—reading pirated copies while hurling cold mockery and hot sarcasm, saying the author had a low IQ, the characters were brain-dead, and so on. Some even insulted my parents. Wouldn't you be angry if it were you? Was I supposed to be polite and courteous to someone who couldn't even speak like a human being?
Confucius said: "How should one repay virtue? Repay resentment with uprightness, and virtue with virtue!"
The sages of old also said that if you wanted others to treat you a certain way, you first had to treat others that way yourself. If your "tone is a little harsh," then don't blame me for being "a little harsh" too. Even now, I still couldn't understand how some people thought. If you didn't want to read, fine. If you thought it was bad,
