HarryHenderson quoted this:
Sorry skeptics. You are bringing this on yourselves. You'd get proof sooner if you had an ounce of curiosity.
Decoding:
An abusive person will say "Sorry [followed by abusive statement they are not sorry for]"
His abusive statement is blaming the victim: It is your fault I can't show you evidence.
In short, someone saying "sorry, you deserved it" is not apologizing. They are saying "you deserved it", but trying to deny any responsibility for their malice.
Other forms of this kind of denial are "not to be rude [followed by rude statement]"
This is why I keep pointing out the exact parallels between BLAARGing and abusive personality disorders, and why I disagree with "what's the harm?"
The harm, among other things, is that Bigfoot University is a school of antisocial conduct that can be so easily adapted to all your interpersonal exchanges.
You will be surprised how much you can know about someone with these kinds of important clues. This is a person who cannot deliver a proper apology along the lines of "I am sorry, I interrupted". At best it will be "I am sorry you feel that way", which is blaming the victim for the way they feel, not apologizing for being the one who hurt them.
Science, and the rules of conduct in exchanges based on logic, are strong ethical/moral platforms to operate from. The bigfoot platform requires having no conscience about what you are doing. It's great because it can be hidden behind the happy face of the romantic notion. That's true of the Easter Bunny, Santa Clause, and the Tooth Fairy.
But we don't pretend they are real, so we don't have to get malicious with people who would question our belief in them.
