You don't get to define who should be pitied and who should not. I think you and the rationalists on this forum have acted in a deplorable manner towards Shelby.
You haven't been paying attention because I have never said anything to Shelby in the way you describe. And I'll pity whomever I damn well please. For example, I pity you right now. Why? Because you're not being reasonable in any way shape or form and I know that you can be. It's sad to me to see someone I like turn into someone so far off the rails like this. So yeah, not jealous at all. And I agree that it didn't have to be this way, Sab. You've strayed so far from reality that all anyone can do is try to reason with you, and when that fails miserably all we have left is pity.
