One thing aggie doesn't get is that I don't give a fuck how it's received...I didn't post it for him...I posted it for me...
I don't give a shit if fat people live or die...there's no human concern here from me...

The merits of the thread - from initial posting and defense of the post's writings - seem to state that the original poster does, in fact, care one way or the other as it appears to impact (in the arguments presented) the societal cost. Which is, in fact, a human concern. So, yes, there is a human concern by that argument.
If, then, you only posted this for yourself, then everything said within does not make much sense - since by the points that (1) the post's original existence was really intended for the audience of its poster, and no one else, and (2) there is no concern at all for anyone who reads it and no take-away value at all.
Which then leads one to wonder if not for the sake of raising awareness or discussion, then wouldn't the societal cost be better served by making perhaps a more informative discussion on the topic, or perhaps just admitting there is human concern on a societal cost level and that the post itself was intended to provoke discussion?
