I figure you ask weird questions like this to collect data on others for use later when you want to exploit them or pile it on in some group attack on their character.
How do you feel about this person doing this and had you known them at the time, would you somehow have allowed this event to pass you by without comment or juncture based on who the protagonists were and your relationship to them in this forum?

Here’s his quote:
“When I was about 15, in a swirl of certain music, hurtling uncontemplated peer group pressure and loyalty, and lurking on a Saturday morning with no good intent ~ while nursing a can of Tizer ~ at the 'Golden Egg' in the High Street, I went through a phase of being ambivalent - and passive - about the behaviour of boisterously racist friends.”

That was what the OP account was about.

Originally posted by @fmfThe account, its meaning and the moral message in your OP is absolutely clear.

It is interesting to observe the howling salivations of your detractors as they trample through the discusion opportunity like hyenas fighting in a flower bed over a piece of yesterday’s rotting flesh.

This was an absolutely lovely piece of writing, tiger. I think I’m going to put it on the refrigerator.

But do you agree that the opening sentence in the OP is the Mount Everest of convoluted run-on sentences and would be hell to diagram?
I bet Miss Alawat would be mightily impressed if you offered to diagram that sentence for extra credit.

Classic passive aggressive. Randomly offer up "personal information" then imply later that someone will immorally use it against you. So you enjoyed hanging out with racists--and now you've told everybody about it whether they wanted to hear it or not.. I'm not going to hold that against you. You're the one that has to live with it. That's punishment enough.

Originally posted by @divegeesterI was seeking clarity on the OP.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a quality OP be torn down to partisan levels of vicious invective so quickly in all my years year.
How could Kiddo have possibly known his loyalty to his racist pals wasn’t recognized or appreciated based on his encountering a trolling victim in an airport?
Unless one of his former racist pals also was in the airport and told him, “You know, Kiddo, we really didn’t recognize or appreciate your loyalty way back when.”
And why wouldn’t the trolling victim being all no biggie about the decades-old trolling not have set things right? Obviously the trolling victim didn’t care, unless he was being insincere when he told Kiddo “no biggie.” But Kiddo didn’t say his “no biggie” was insincere.
There’s a lot of unanswered questions in that OP, tiger. I liked your hyena story much better.

Do you see why I liked your story about the hyenas so much better? It was so descriptive. I felt like I was watching the hyenas tear apart a rotting piece of flesh as I read it.
Well done, tiger!
