I think forcing strangers to look at cutsey wootsy pictures of your cat with a hat on, sitting under an umbrella, with sunglasses on, and a vomit-inspiring name... or pictures of your kids, or your car, or other personal shrines or artifacts...or boring political opinions, quotes by irrelevant hippie authors, science fiction writers, tv-show reverences, etc....is one of the few forms of narcissistic hostility that's permissible, tolerated, and socially acceptable on the internet. Why risk confronting narcissists with the reality of their disturbing social habits? The line between ordinary narcissism and potentially murderous pathology is too fine to mess with. Today's cat-owning narcissist could be tomorrow's animal torturing proto-serial killer. Do we want responsibility for that?
I think it is much more hostile for someone to post an intolerant post like that. Get a life!
