Yeah, see, again--and I know I'm saying this from the standpoint of someone who hasn't been in school for twenty years or so at least--it's VERY EASY to sit here at your keyboard and pat someone on the back for a horrible mistake they made. It's also very easy for Ravage to say thanks for all this, because Ravage prefers not to admit that Ravage might have done something...unwise. And I'll tell you why that's the case, at least as I believe it...it's because really learning something is painful and difficult.
One of the hardest things in the world is to look at one's own rough-hewn nature, to acknowledge that maybe as people we're not perfect, that we're capable of making mistakes.
From my perspective, it's upsetting reading all this cheering on, plus it makes the forum look like a bunch of idiotic macho high school students. No, I'm not saying it was "right" for that bully to say those cruel things to that girl. But look at who's actually suffering the greatest consequences: Ravage. And look at who was made into a victim: The bully. The tables turned, but they turned...the wrong way.
It's not bad to make a mistake. That's human nature, and it is part of how people develop into themselves. But it can be bad not to LEARN from a mistake, and by encouraging Ravage, and telling Ravage that what Ravage did was the "right thing," you are making it very difficult for Ravage to learn.
So please, take a minute to think about what you post.
