I know that you're somewhat "backed into a corner" on this one since you're clearly in the minority, but I just don't get what personal benefit you're getting from this crusade. Are you legitimately trying to help people? If so, you won't get very far by being so condescending to people about it. Do you just get some sort of gratification from berating people? I don't know about that one. Seems odd, but possible. Are you insecure with your own financial decisions and compensating by being aggressive about it? I find this to be the most likely, but I don't know you.
I mean, christ man, you make assumptions about others' financial well-being that are clearly not true. You've assumed this entire time that I'm some idiot kid that has no idea what he's talking about, to the point that you wanted to see my (and others') credit card statements. Does that not seem weird to you? Hell, some people won't even provide financial information like that to ANYONE, let alone some random guy on the internet.
I just don't get it is all. You have your philosophies, others have theirs. Why do you feel the need to carry on about it constantly?
(These are all rhetorical questions, so don't feel the need to necessarily respond. As I mentioned, I just don't understand. THAT is why I think you're odd.)

I've actually come to get along fairly well with R8ers. I think I just write this off as one area where he can more effectively play the part of a rival troll. If he really is trying to "help" people on here, he needs to realize that people's financial needs should be approached the same way as religion (IMO). When someone feels they need help, they will seek advice. Also, whenever they do, if you berate them for their current situation/belief/decisions right from the start (or before they even ask for help), you're not someone who anyone is going to want to talk to about it. At least not in an objective or constructive manner.
