The resident did more than cry out in pain, the resident angrily stated (no doubt influenced by the pain in his foot!) "You have no common sense, why are you deliberately harming people?

The resident LITERALLY asks, "Who is Sam? I've never heard his name before. Does he work for your charity org? Is he influential in the org? Do his actions tend to reflect agreement within the charity org leadership on how to respond to events?" > Construction worker Arsen: "Sam is one of the most prolific construction > workers, if not the most prolific." Charity worker Arsen: "Factual analysis of your query indicates, he is indeed well known in the charity org, he is one of the most active volunteers in all areas so you'll indeed see his name appear a lot. Also yes, yes, and yes." > Construction worker Matt: "You should show more appreciation, considering > how much you've benefited from our work." Charity worker Matt: "You should show more empathy towards the free attempt to charitably help out, considering how much charity work you genuinely benefited from.

But responding by accusing people of malicious hatred does not help find a resolution, it only makes both sides bitter and angry.
