Please don't call me dude.

If it were my mom's boyfriend I'd be paying for a background check.

Then do that, instead of using your cynicism to try and suppress the man's big heart and desire to help others in need. Or do nothing and walk on by. Anything other than propagating cynicism.

...wow. Did "Don't be so cynical" hit a nerv? I was sure I'm talking to a reasonable, thoughtful person.

I think it's more about who it's coming from than what was said.

Go fuck yourself!

I never said a bad word towards you, or about your business, or about your values and beliefs. You never objected to anything I had to say.

I expected better of you.

It's a sad thing not a happy thing but the sentiment isn't disingenuous.
