Re: Bader and the crazy fan
Two scenarios:
1. Give the ball to the lady.
2. Keep the ball and tell the lady to take a hike.
The issue isn’t which one you choose. The issue is that #1 is somehow a sus.
He’s not. In front of his son, he took the high road. And wouldn’t you know it, the man and his son were rewarded big time.
But even if they weren’t rewarded, in life, you have to choose your battles.
It was just a ball.

Meh. You made an assumption of the option you don’t like. I’m just not picking the same choice you would.ecleme22 wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 20:17 pm Two scenarios:

You don’t understand. Every social interaction, no matter how minor, must be met with aggressive, indignant behavior. Life is a series of skirmishes that must be won, lest you be considered weak or unmanly.ecleme22 wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 20:17 pm Two scenarios:

He did address it he chose de-escalation instead of escalation and he and his son were richly rewarded for choosing de-escalation and the Karen is getting what she deserves he just addressed it in a way you don’t agree with11WSChamps wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 20:27 pmNo it is true.ecleme22 wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 20:23 pmNot true.11WSChamps wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 20:21 pmAnd if you don't take care of the little details you'll never handle the big ones.ecleme22 wrote: ↑06 Sep 2025 20:17 pm Two scenarios:

That's his business how he handles that. Not mine.
You should take a lesson in that.

That's at least the second time I've told you that. I never mentioned his behavior while you wanted to judge others who disagreed.
You made a fool of yourself accusing another poster of being something he isn't and if you've got a modicum of intelligence you will make an apology and shut it down for the thread.
