What I said is not equivalent to either of those. I wouldn’t say anybody “had this coming” because that is pretty callous. But I would say my sympathy is not endless and is reserved for those who are not victims of their own footguns.
> my sympathy is not endless
It actually is, unless you don't want it to be.
This is ridiculous. I am not endless myself, so how could my sympathy be? This thread is full of either trolls or unserious people.

Because you're not confronted with an endless number of situations where you need to be sympathetic. It's pretty easy to just decide to consistently be sympathetic. There is no sympathy meter inside you that prevents you from doing that.

Well, I know I'm not the former, and I believe I'm not the latter. So if your experience is that you encounter lots of people who disagree with your position, and your reaction is to label them all as trolls or unserious, I would put it to you that you might just be wrong on all three counts.
