It's still rooted in empathy. I used to be the asshole so I have a deep understanding of the attitude. Some days I feel more like a therapist than an engineer.

You're a better man than I. While I used to feel the same way, I don't have nearly as much patience as I once did. That isn't to say I have zero patience or get upset, but if someone wants to be an ass, they're welcome to be an ass. While I do make it a point to be polite in return, I have other things to worry about. (Now that I read that, it isn't to say that you don't, just that... oh never mind, I'm sure you get the point.)
