I know, I keep getting sucked back in, against my better judgement.

Occasionally, this may happen.  It has in the past.  The vast majority of
the time, most of those people aren't worth the effort to explain myself.  I
do prefer, as you infer above, to communicate with equals or near equals.

Sarcasm doesn't become you, m'dear.  It's not your style.

When it suits my purposes, sure.  I'm knowingly a hypocrite from time to
time.  I think everyone is, probably more than they'd care to admit to
themselves.

You can forget anything you choose to forget.  People do it every day.

An interesting etymological note:  the word "tragedy" comes to us, via
middle english and latin, from the greek "tragoidia", literally "goat song"

That's my well-researched conclusion for the day.
