Years ago, when people knew how to behave, none of us would have behaved anything like this in public. There's a phrase missing from modern society, "you ought to be ashamed of yourself."Interesting, you have the right to 'name calling' but he hasn't the right to vent a bit? I don't beleive we're 'strangers' per se, in this 'crowd', and he vented about a problem to people he felt would have some empathy towards his plight. That's hardly aberrant barroom behavior, people bitch and vent all the time in any bar I've been in.
We would have done something about the problem, later on, if we were
going to bother to. Not carried on like a gibbering idiot towards
people who had nothing to do with the problem.
The phrase "you ought to be ashamed of yourself" is hopefully missing nowadays by design, as it doesn't work. Tell a kid to not put his finger in his ear and he'll do it straight-away. It's called 'shoulding' and it's named specifically amongst the 'Elements of Criminal Thinking'. We've got 2.7 million human beings actively incarcerated from the good ole days thinking, maybe there is some need for some better thinking?
Dan wasn't out to -hurt- anyone and didn't, to my perspectives. But you call him a 'gibbering idiot'? In my opinion, you do not have the right to do so and you are the only abuser in this case. Dan got angry about a circumstance, while you got angry and made it personal. I hope you can see that. Please stop switch. It wasn't that long ago I had to go into the block, wearing latex gloves, carrying a spray bottle of bleach to sanitize the shower room wall, from a case of name calling. Helluva mess. It wasn't over the internet, it wasn't televised, it was up close and personal. So, if you want to call a man names, you might consider going to his door, then "pull your n*ts out" and "show what you're working with"... as inmates say. Now that's old school, as you claim to herald from, not this email business. I would suggest you pack a lunch, as Dan isn't small. <eg>
