>Malice hat...Incompetence hat

How can you tell them apart? ;) Jokes aside, I'd like to add another hat, which is "ambivalence hat", which says: This person's pain is not all that important. The (very mild) harm it does to YT's reputation can be safely ignored. Ambivalence hat synergizes with "ignorance hat" which is the one that says, "Gosh, I'd like to help but I just don't know what to do."

(A person wearing both ambivalent AND ignorant hats is a good approximation of the population at any given time about any given topic, btw.)
